    You only need the one behind the trans. With out, it if the drive shaft where to break there it would hit the ground and could come through the floor. If the shaft breaks at the back by the diff it's only going to drag on the floor.

    Look behind the trans crossmember and to the right of where the exhaust collector splits.

    Thanks for the compliment!

    It's an RJC Racing Loop, but that billet looking one on Lilbowtie's car is REALY nice but doesn't (didn't) help much. I'm thinking because of it's round shape.

    Mine's oval too, that keeps the driveline from bouncing all around if it breaks.

    My loop did a fantastic job protecting my butt. The drive shaft exploded in the burn-out box and it was so violent it broke the complete bell housing and the only thing holding the trans in was the torque converter. The loop is pretty bent up, the mounting pieces use to be parallel. I had an x pipe that ran under the shaft that was destroyed, my headers were bent down, did quite the job on the floor boards, and to add insult broke my weather station sitting on the floor. It took some investigating to find out it was the shaft - if you don't know about Drive Shaft Critical Rpm please look into it - I know now.

    WOW! Glad you are alright!

    I thought that loop looked a little "customized"..........
