cool, but overkill, he doesn't have a nine inch I don't think, and it's the back only. Front is more important.

I can pretty much guarantee that you won't find a company making a mass-market loop for a 4th gen with an X pipe, since there are so few of them out there.

You'll likely need to have one custom made.

Chances are you can get somebody to fab one up, or maybe modify a universal one yourself?

Spohn and SLP both make a DS loop that the mount when the tunnel brace is. One of those will probably work, they mount up high.

How does your ORX run?

I am pretty sure my old setup would have cleared a spohn chassis mount TA and DS loop setup.

To summarize this, people are saying the lakewood and spohn work, and chasis mounted Torque arms do not fit.

Lakewood and Spohn DSL both look like this...

A search will give you a ton of info.

if you cant find anything to fit, i would recommend changing to a y-pipe....drive shaft loops should be a required item...

i have one sitting at home that im not using, or you can use a torque arm relocation kit with a trans mount torque arm and that will work as well. you should really just switch to a y-pipe though, i did and im making a lot more power than you. you can still do a dumped bullet if you like the sound
