Tunnel brace exhaust question
Does anyone know if one of those aftermarket tunnel braces give more exhaust clearance than a factory brace with 1/4" spacers? I was looking at the LSR one, Elite engineering, or the UPR. I obviously have 3" exhaust, which is about a 1/4" from the brace. I don't hear it hitting, but i am thinking if the exhaust settles at all, I'm gonna have some contact. Stainless Works recommends 1/2" clearance, but I don't have that.

Check out the ARH floor brace. It offers lots of clearance, as well as added stiffness. Do a search for it, here and you will get plenty of info about it. Good luck.

I have the 3" Magnaflow comp catback. Ordered a billet notched brace from TORQ. I can slide my hand in between the brace and the pipes now and it's a ton stronger. With stock brace pipes were hitting

You could put another 1/4 washer on each corner if it settles again.
