Default GT-Spec ladder brace exhaust clearance?

Anyone know what the exhaust clearance is on it? I have the Nismo exhaust, so that's larger than stock, and also had to space it down a bit at the rear brackets and B-pipe bracket to accomodate my rear skirt, so I'm a bit concerned about it possibly rubbing the brace if there isn't enough clearance. It's maybe an eighth of an inch lower than normal up where the brace will be.

I think you should be ok. I have a fuji exhaust and it cleared fine. I'd be more concerned with ground clearance. When I had this on my car, it scraped everything.

Do you already have the ladder bar? If so, it's an easy test fit.

If you're referring to the 4pt brace, you should have no problems.

Yeah, the 4 pt. brace. I'd think I should be ok scraping-wise; my car isn't a DD and I don't drive it anyplace that my front lip will scrape, anyway.

Does this brace make that big of a difference? I have Nismo suspension, sways and the F/R tie braces right now (freaking wish they would make a R lateral brace that would fit with the Nismo exhaust).

I didn't feel any difference with it.

The new version 2 braces will be released shortly. And yes they will work with the NISMO as well as True Dual 3" exhausts

Sweet! This an update to the lateral brace only (rest will remain the same)?
