Default anyone using Lakewood Driveshaft loop

Anyone have one of these in thier car? I am running FLP's and have been a hard time finding a loop that fits. I am looking for a BOLT IN loop that doesnt require any special fitment to get it to work.

Yes, love it. I have a modified SLP y-pipe and couldn't get anything else to work. The lakewood fits no problem since it goes around the drive shaft and then follows the top of the tunnel up over the y-pipe. Took about a half hour to install w/o dropping the driveshaft. Shoot me an email if you want some pictures.

I have FLPs, and the lakewood DSL. It fits perfectly around my aftermarket 3.5" driveshaft, without removing anything.

for pics. Most are closeups of all the clearances (it's tight in there, but nothing hits), but there's one 'overall' pic.

excellent pictures dope! And just the perfect Y-Pipe i wanted to see the clearance for. I've got a jegs DSL here sitting on a shelf, but never installed it due to having to drill holes in the floor plan.

Thanks again,

A Metco is also an excellent piece that will fit the bill nicely <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Dope, I just got the Lakewood DSL, Part# 18000, and it doesnt look anything like yours. What is the part # of your DSL? It just has 2 L shaped pieces and 2 C shaped parts. Did you do some bending or something of the parts?!??!

I suspect that's because the correct one is the 18022 =)
