ZL1 Manual specific driveshaft loop
2014 ZL1 Manual. stock NPP exhaust pipes up to headers with offroad pipes
Metco said they dont offer one and according to my Camaro mod book for the 5th gen, BMR wont work either. Has anyone bought an off the shelf driveshaft loop and installed without modification into their ZL1? All I see is modified SS cars. Thanks

This is the issue I have and then they talk about the DSL015! So why the difference? So you didnt have to modify this DSL014?

Even the Moroso c3174 says fits non ZL1 models...something tells me I just need to bite the bullet and prove them wrong. Sounds like you guys figured it out.

Not sure what you meant by a convertible frame brace. Would I need that to make the BMR to work? Thanks

Brace
Quote:
The loop fit with no issues or problems, I took a chance and ordered it, it fits fine with ARH header system with X pipe, I think it hits the stock ZL1 exhaust cross over piece. I ordered and ainstalled the convertible brace later to reduce any frame flex, what is good for the convertible has to be good for the coupe... I did have to put in some spacers at one end of the convertible brace to keep it even (the red pieces), as the transmission brace gets spacers from the BMR loop kit. I also cut holes for the O2 sensors to clear. Hope this clears things up Last edited by Vicster; 08-30-2020 at 09:59 AM. |
