Depending on your cross member no, we have a tunnel mount torque arm and cross member combination just for this situation. How ever keep in mind that you limit yourself on pinion angle and if your vehicle is lowered it can be hard to get your -1 pinion angle depending on how low the vehicle is.
This is off a customers vehicle with an exhaust they had done, but it shows you can get it to fit and how our tunnel mount torque arm fits.

I don't recall if their exhaust kit is a custom build or box bought kit.

I used a long torque arm and a trans mount with the torque arm mount on on it. I think it is a umi piece. They work fine, but my exhaust is also custom duals, not a kit. If you have a torque arm that works with the exhaust already, that is probably your cheapest and best route. Looking at that pic, it looks like the driveshaft is hitting the loop.

How ever the case may be everyone using a drive shaft loops needs to be aware they can not jack up the rear of the vehicle allowing the wheels to dangle as most all drive shaft loops can come into contact with the drive shaft.
There is only so much tunnel room to fit a certain size loop in the vehicles and they are designed for ride height fitment.

thats kinda how my exhaust is at least on the front part of the x-pipe , the only problem i see with mine is gonna be where the tunnel mnt hooks up , and where my x-pipe is after that the room i have is adequite
