That kinda sucks. I guess I'll find out for sure this weekend when I install them. What prevents it from fitting?
I just looked at pics of the lateral arm mounted on the GTSpec website and of my exhaust mounted and I don't see a reason it won't work, so I went out to my car and crawled under and test fit it. It looks like it will fit fine to me. The passenger side exhaust pipe is close, but it doesn't come in contact with the lateral arm. I'll be able to see better once it's on a lift, but from what I can see it looks to fit fine. What makes you say it won't fit?

I didn't get a chance to install my GTSPEC braces or my wheel spacers since my friends lift is tied up, but I did install my GTSPEC strut brace and my 06 REV UP airbox that has the larger velocity stack. I don't know if anyone else encountered this, but when I installed the strut brace there is a bracket on the drivers side that contacted the strut brace bracket. I'm sure I could have left it and nothing would have happened, but I decided to notch so it wouldn't touch the bracket anymore.

Here are a few pics of the 05 and 06 airboxes. You can clearly see the difference in the newer velocity stack.

I did the 5/16 ISO Thermal spacer with the MREV2
Took it out for a ride tonight and I can't say I notice a difference. I didn't think I would, but the larger fluted velocity has to smooth out the airflow into the intake which should make tuning a little easier.
