Close to where it mounts the tranny,no? On the other end if it breaks it ain't as dangerous anyway. That is what I figure. As long as the loop is gonna stop it from hitting the road it will work, I think.

I believe the NHRA requires no further from tail shaft than 6 inches or something like that.

It has to be within the first six inches after the trans, more or less just behind the front u joint. It is meant to contain the shaft if the front u joint breaks.

I have two of them, but cannot find the directions right now, or I would be more exact.
