I am currently in this situation and I was wondering how important the brace is as well. Do you think I could just remove it and install the cutouts then order the aftermarket ones to bolt maybe in 2 weeks?

As long as you don't race it on a track I can't see it doing too much damage. I believe everyone should remove the brace, install the cutouts and have the same muffler place weld up a new brace to replace the flimsy one that is on now.

I was thinking since I dont race it should be ok. Thanks for the feedback! I went yesterday and they told me they couldn't install because it wouldn't clear anywhere they put it

I have heard about the qtp motors frying over time, so to try to protect them from heat, I put some Teflon header wrap on the pipes where the motors are. I wonder if this will help?
I will try to get a video to compare sound open and closed this weekend. |

Not to beat a dead horse, but hopefully my brace will give me the clearance I need for cutouts.

Its funny that you post this because I tried to have the cut outs that were installed by my muffler re-installed to that same location you show in the picture. The kid at the muffler shop gave me a good quote but another mentioned to him that it would cave in my chassis. I told him I had no plans to track the car and just wanted some noise on demand. Well long story short I get the call the next day that they wouldn't do it because of the possible legal complications of removing a standard part.
I wish I would have removed it first, had them install it and then take it to a weld shop to fabricate a plate like yours that would clear the cut outs and also brace the underside. Good luck with your install and keep us posted. You can never stop beating a dead horse enough. |
