Driveshaft loop with Tremec

I see several threads about driveshaft loops that say different geometries are needed with tremec transmissions.  I had been thinking about the ones like at Mancini, and then thought about the less expensive Lakewood versions, and then saw a thread that had what looked like a nice Metco one. 

What are people using?  What needs to be done.  Are some simpler to install than others?

I am new to this, but will be putting in a DS loop, so I need to ask.

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

I liked the ones at mancini also, made my own , took photos its on my build thread,
i liked the idea of just bolting it up to the crossmember , without welding or modifying these cars, i changed it a bit by sectioning the loop part , mancini one has to be over your tailshaft when you put
shaft in,
loop over lapped and unboltable section , you could buy the mancini one and alter it to suit , or leave it as is and not have to weld to or modify car

Thank you.  You have some nice design elements with your set up.  I don't weld (yet) so fabricating one like you did is not something I can do alone.  Do you have a sense of whether the MRE one can be made to fit with a Tremec transmission?  (It is Hurst drivelines kit).  If so, what sort of modifications would be needed

This thread (http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,16960.0.html) indicates that the old US car tool one (which looks like the MRE one) does not fit which is the reason for my question.
