I got the Jegs one from years ago. Works just fine and cheap too.

The LPE one will be fine till you hit 230 mph.

Also a 3.5" dia Dr Shaft might be a little tight on a 3rd Gen car. Not a lot of room to work with. I will stick with my 2 3/4" dia 1LE Aluminum one.

I believe my DS loop is about 4 in so clearing it might be a bit of a problem if the car bounces too much.

I've got an LPE 3.5" in my Z it is very tight but it does fit even with the Spohn torque arm and Mufflex 3.5' catback it fits. You have little room to work with but it's like a Chineese puzzle it fits. And no vibrations.

If my DS were to get bent, I might go for the LPE one just for the hell of it. Of course, if a DS is properly balanced every now and then and the U joints checked, vibration would never be a problem.
