That piece of metal is so thin and so far away from the shaft that if something failed and the shaft hit it at speed its a good chance it would tear that piece in half. Ive been thinking about picking up a driveshaft loop latley and I would go with one that fit as close to the shaft as possible without having any rubbing issues.

I like the looks of the UMI tunnel-mounted TA setup with safety loop. I think fully optioned it is $400 plus shipping. That's what I plan on buying as soon as I pay off my credit card with the Koni SAs on it.
UMI has two versions depending on what kind of headers you have, which I thought was cool. Sounds like they are paying attention to other aftermarket pieces.

UMI is definately a customer's company as they watch the things that we do and build for those things, im planning on their k-member and a-arms as soon as i get money saved up, ive heard quite a few good things from them
