Pypes X-pipe clearance issue with BMR driveshaft safety loop?
Hey guys,
I bought a Pypes X-pipe and I was going to install it but discovered a potential clearance issue with my BMR driveshaft safety loop. I haven't made any cuts in my stock H-pipe. I placed the X-pipe up against my stock H-pipe and from the picture it appears that the X starts too early and might hit the loop. What do you think? If it will hit then is there another X-pipe that will work with the safety loop? Thanks!

Hey 2007calspec, long time no see!
The X-pipe won't work with your driveshaft safety loop. I suggest removing the BMR loop and going with the Metco loop. The Metco piece should give you enough clearance. Hope this helps!
