OK, I have a custom exhaust. I probably need a loop cuz I have a tendency to break ****. However, all the ones I have seen bolt behind where the tranny crossmember goes (you know, that other little crossmember bolts about a foot behind it, same style). I can't use that setup, any other types? I'm not interested in getting another torque arm.

all the DSL bolt where the factory tunnel brace does, which is behind the tranny about 1'. You could get a universal one from Jegs and put it where you wish, or you get get a tunnel mounted TA with a front loop made on to it. Are you running true duals?

I am running a cutom welded Y and it's kinda in the way. I might get a universal one and weld it to the TA.

The reason they all bolt on just behind the tranny is for protection from digging into the pavement and causing the car to flip. If the driveshaft breaks at the rear, it will fall and exit from the rear of the car, with little or no problem.
