Driveshaft loop for longtube headers

[doubleb]

My friend and I finished up the longtube header install and when to in stall my new bmr driveshaft loop and the exhaust hits it. Anyone know of a driveshaft loop that works with kooks headers?

Try the BMR chassis brace/ loop. Seems to do a good job. Fair warning: I had to grind the rear of the brace portion to get my 3.5" Aluminum 1 piece to freely rotate when it was on the lift in the air. Also a good idea to do that in case your car goes full suspension extension in the rear while driving.

The note about 1 pieces wasnt there when I ordered, lol. But grinding wont compromise the integrity of the brace. If I'd have to do it again, Id take a cutoff wheel and remove the rear rectangular section where the brace makes contact with the shaft.

I have an 07 with Kooks with their off-road X and the BMR front loop fits with no problem, the driveshaft will hit the BMR rear loop when the suspension is unloaded on a lift.

Run a Metco Motorsprts loop on my 11, part # ( MDL2005F )
......( Kooks 1 3/4" / Axle-Exchange DS )
......( had to use a FRPP loop on the 14 )

Thanks for the replies. I did install a dynotech one piece driveshaft as well. The BMR loop ( #DSL010) fits the driveshaft fine, its the kooks X-pipe where I am having trouble. By looking at 1 Alibi 2's pic above, kooks now has two plates welding on the top and bottom of the front portion of the x-pipe so they can put their little "K" logo on it. I was going to cut those off but I still don't think it will work. Alibi, do you have the part number of the loop in you pic? That looks like it would work. I looked at the cobra jet one, # m-5478-cj, but your looks different.

CHE makes a very robust pc. I have it on mine, no issue with rubbing, also have Kooks

I have the Summit Racing front and rear drive shaft loops, which are exactly the same as BMR. My buddy has BMR and well they are exactly the same. The way I got the drive shaft from not hitting the loop is we made aluminum spacers to raise the loop to were it's tucked up to the floor board. Works like a charm easy to do and your protected. Love them, and there powder coated blue.

I also have the CHE with Kooks long tubes. He's hit the nail squarely on the head

^^^ I also have the CHE loop but with Dynatech long tubes and offroad Xpipe with not issues.
