Put the car up on the Quick Jacks today to change the oil and mount the BMR DSL111 Driveshaft loop I ordered a few months ago. I bought the new model that mounts UNDER the transmission brace. Well, bad news, it doesn't fit at all with Kooks long tube headers and the Kooks Green Cat Mid Pipes. I'm going to have to use a plasma cutter to remove half circles out of either side of the portion of the bracket that bends upwards towards the driveshaft. Yes it will weaken the part some, but it's the only way it will work. The BMR bracket is made of 1/4 plate steel which should still be strong enough to contain the driveshaft should failure occur. Below is a picture of what needs to be cut to fit on a car outfitted like mine with the Kooks stuff.

I would have searched for the above crossmemer style if I were you. No issues with my ARH 2"LT and 3.5" x pipe. I did have to modify for the O2 sensors though.

That looks to be the same BMR bracket I have that doesn't fit. The factory transmission brace fits just fine. Its the Kooks Green Catted Midpipes that keep it from working. The O2 sensors are out of the way, but the way the mid-pipes hook to the Kooks Long Tube headers don't leave enough room for the brace because of the way they are tucked up under the car and the 3" size. I think the collectors are 1/3 larger than the ARH headers you are running if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for the suggestion though. What do you think of the BMR sub-frame connectors? Do you feel a difference in the way the car handles or accelerates once you added them? I thought about adding those as well but I didn't want to add any weight to the car that doesn't make a definitive difference in performance, and I haven't ever spoken to anyone who had them already.
