Not without major modification. The 2010 ABS module is located slightly different than on the 2011. The 2010's won't clear the brace. That's besides the fact that the 2010 strut tower brace is a different shape as well so no flat surface where the bolt holes go. Sorry :(

I know i know, i hate to be the bearer of bad news. I'd just hate to see someone buy this for their 2010 only to realize there is pretty much no way it would ever fit. Most people don't realize the strut towers on the later 2011's are not just predrilled and threaded but also have flat side and top surfaces to mount the brace. The 2010 is just a all round surface. Even less people know the ABS module is located slightly different and won't clear the brace even if you could get it mounted.

Yeah, glad I found out before I actually bought one. I'll wait another 10 million years for BMR to make a brace that fits with the maggie. Thanks for the help

Silver2SSRS6spd – thanks for throwing our name in there. Our Chassis Max Strut tower brace fits the 2010 and early 2011 Camaro with the Magnusson and Whipple supercharger. The reservoir fits with access to the cap for servicing.
