Crossmember / ds loop question

Well I plan on hitting the track friday and I'm definitly going to need a ds loop. Problem is the true duals is in the way of the crossbrace thing. I dont' even have one on there now cuz it wouldn't fit otherwise. Anyone know if it's bad not to have something there? And where's the next best spot to put a ds loop? Thanks guys...

Here are some pics. You can see where the crossmember was supposed to go. Not sure why they took it out. They should have worked around it but oh well. I just need to find a way to get a crossmember in there somewhere along w/ a ds loop.

Man! Do you have enough rust back there?

My SLP DSSL mounts exactly where that tunnel brace/cross member goes. The SLP loop actually gives tons of clearance, but there is no way it would clear your set up.

It looks to me like you may have to either customize a production DSSL or have a shop fabricate something.

Nice looking exhaust, BTW!

Yeah looks like I'm going to have something custom made then. Any guesses on how much a crossbrace and a ds loop will run? Hopefully not too bad.
