Default Pypes Mid Muffler system "technically" a drive shaft loop?

If anybody has seen how close the Pypes MM system gets to the driveshaft. Could it "technically" do the same thing as a drive shaft safety loop? Might be a stupid question, but if you think about it. It might be true

kinda........but if the shaft breaks in the front, it isnt going to do much of anything for you....and that is what i would be worried about and why most people only get front loops.

If the thing doesnt come loose i think it would tear the exhaust up in no time flat going all out at 100+ anyway

Let me think about it...............uh, no.

First of all, the mufflers aren't even close to the driveshaft. Here's a video that shows what i'm talking about (it's upside down, sorry).

A driveshaft safety loop is very close to the driveshaft, so that it can contain it, if it should break. The driveshaft would rip though any exhaust pipes anyway. I have a che front safety loop on mine.
