Not the best pictures but put the loop in with DS today. Very easy install the loop itself was tight a fit over DS. I had the heat shield on with shaftband it fit fine but had to take it back off for the safety loop.

Very nice. That looks cool.

So I took the car for a ride, had a vibration I didn't notice but the loop extension bolt heads were resting on exhaust all 4. I took all the washers off and it was still hitting. I then moved the extension to the top side I now have a little clearance. Hopefully it's enough. Even with out extension it would still hit.

None of you guys had clearance issues? I had it below because that is what it looked like you guys were doing, I am hoping the little bit of clearance I have now will be okay, I will probably try it out this Sunday.

What mph did you notice the vibration?

Joe.G · 08-04-2023, 01:01 PM

It was resting on the pipe so it was random.

Mine is on top and have the bolts coming in from the top. Seems like I remember having to swap things around when I first put it in.

Thanks for checking you appear to have more clearance then I do . I think in your the pictures on your install you had it the other way. Hopefully it's okay or I'll have to remove it I don't see any way to get any more clearance.
