Default Is there a safety Loop compatable w/ duals??

I'm running pace setter long tubes, in to a 2.5" summit racing X-pipe out to 2.5" twin moroso spiral flows dumped at the rear axle. Still running the stock 10 bolt housing. I also have a UMI tubular Torque arm mounted to the stock trans location.

Does anyone have a similar set up, where they've successfully mounted an aftermarket driveshaft safety loop? If yes, I'm looking for a manufacturers name and p/n.

Thanks!!

I have the same issue. None seem to work. Where the x-pipe is is exactly where you typically mount the loop. My plan is to ditch the x-pipe and have the exhsut dump about 18" after header collectors on each side. Sames weight too

I am running the BMR part# DSL001on my car. Used this safety loop with the Kooks true dual over the axle exhaust they offer. Here is a picture of the safety loop and x pipe before we installed the rest of the exhaust.

That's a nice set up! I got turned on to a company called Midwest Chassis, in IL. They had one that is NHRA certified for $119. Update a pic once I get it installed. Here is the link for anyone interested.

That safety loop is nice. Looks like you don't have to worry about the exhaust hitting it like you would with mine.

This is the one that I have.

I have 2.5" TD's with an x-pipe dumped before the axle along with the above loop and it works perfect.

I run the universal jegster ds loop...If you dont mind poking two small holes in the front seat floor pans it shouldn't get in the way of anything you want to route under the car.
