Tunnel Brace question..........
Does the Tunnel brace really have an important function? I just installed an exhaust system and saw the brace, it is really thin. I ordered one from Barton industries, but I just wanted to know if it is really important to have...
If I run without it for a little bit, would it do any damage? My exhaust seems to bang it and makes a really nasty noise.. I know I can put washers to lower it and give the exhaust some more clearance, but what do you guys think? |

I bought the tunnel brace from g-townmach - http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62586
Clearly better than the OE and I liked its design over the BMR version.

i ran a couple of weeks without it on waiting on a new one to come in, because my 3" exhaust rubbed the stock one.
kept it under 50 when turning at intersections

It is important, we have designed a Brace that allows ample clearance from your exhaust. Check it out and let me know what you think: http://eliteengineeringusa.com/Camaro_Tplate.html |
