I can only hope somebody will give us expert advice about this, like I said in my previous post, I can't remember if that brace was up against the pipes before I jacked with it. I'm no mechanic but I can't imagine a car coming from the factory with that brace allowed to touch the exhaust, obviously for rattle reasons. If I get new pipes welded on at a good shop, bet they'd weld it up so it is suspended above the brace as well as below the bottom of the chassis.
Sorry I directed attention off of the subject of this exhaust set up to rattle problems, just trying to help. Perhaps this sub-topic is best left to threads about rattle problems.

when i got my exhaust put on the brace was hiting so he took it back down and put 2-3 washers at each corner of the brace to give me more clearance,and it worked great.the pipes should def. NOT be touching the brace.
