^^ I have the exact same one on my car, mounted in the exact same place. If nothing else, its cheap insurance if you ever pop a u joint. Definitely worth the time and effort to install it.
Yea no effing way is your Hpipe gunna save your ass if the D/S take a crap. the safety loop is for that, SAFETY. the Hpipe is not only gunna get destroyed in the case of u joint failure, but it would have no way to protect teh floorpan/driver. Its a SAFTEY thing, not a, let me save my D/S thing.
