So, I finally took my G to a local shop so they could adjust one of my hangers for me and after we got the car on the lift I noticed the exhaust was resting on my M-brace..

I tried putting washers in to lower the brace but the exhaust just kept falling with it. I'm assuming it's because of the flex pipes on the Y?!?!

the guys at the shop said its not bad, i just might feel/hear it vibrating.


What do you guys think? Is it bad that the exhaust is coming in contact with my M-Brace?

So far I haven't felt/heard any vibrating.

 

I wouldn't like mine on that brace... It shouldn't be hitting it though. All the hangers are in use?

 

yep all the hangers on hung.

it's 3'' piping.. I am thinking that might have something to do with it.

 

Get your hangers redone so it doesn't rest on it. What if it melts through them or they break then your exhaust drops so low you rip it off? Just saying LOL

 

my rest on my brace but it is heat wrapped..

 

I removed that brace on my car a while back... no issues what-so-ever and more ground clearance.

 

I took the tires off of my rims and now I have less ground clearance.

 

i heard the brace helps against body roll?

 

The brace helps against chassis flex in hard cornering. Most people don't toss their cars around a race track or corner hard enough on the streets to really notice a difference. I personally don't track my car so it really makes no sense for me to have it.

 

Then I suggest you put your tires on because your rims are going to get all screwed up...plus the ride quality suffers a bit.

 

FWIW...
There is a new version of the 'M' brace that provides more exhaust clearance.

pics on my '08 with FI exhaust, ......it's the same part.

 

At work so I can't view the picture....stupid filters.

Is the new version for sedans or coupes? Need as much info as possible as I bent the crap out of mine.

Thanks
