I dont have the 2nd crossmember on the car right now and figured I would buy a crossmember with a driveshaft loop. Any suggestions? I have mac mids and ORY on it now but my put LT on it in the future. Ive heard some clear better than some.

A lot of them say they'll work with any aftermarket exhaust.

I'm running a Lakewood. Fits very close to the floor. Works good with TD's and an X-pipe.

I am running a BMR. No issues. Look into the ones that branch off from an aftermarket torque arm as well...depends on your budget though.

Lakewood here as well. Works and fits good. Reasonably priced too.

+1 on the BMR. Thats what I have.

Really it doesn't matter what you go with. They all work the same, and other than price there really is little to no difference in them.

I hated my tunnel mount TA and went back to a full length TA

you are the first person i heard say that

was it ride quality, noise, vibration?

All of the above although I had the UMI one. You can read threads all day about tunnel mount TAs. I think theres a few on this site alone. I do not recommend them for a street car.

I agree. I had one on my '86 and the vibrations were there no matter what pinion angle I put it at. I will use a full length TA if I replace the stocker.

As for the lakewood DSL, is it a direct bolt on or is it a universal?
