Lower Tunnel brace problem
Does anyone know what the Lower Tunnel Stay does? What I want to know is if I removed it would it affect the handling? It's number 28 on the manual picture (looks like a Stealth B-2 Bomber). It's in the lower left corner of the manual picture. Thank you for any help.

Right, I understand that, but my exhaust is vibrating on it harshly. Even with spacers, it still rattles. I was just wondering if it would dramaticlly effect handling or anything?

protect gas tank and provide more structural rigidity.
play around with where the exhaust hangers are and the flanges where the exhaust cans and the midpipe line up. (even where it attaches to the cats), there typically is enough play in them to not hit that bar.
i'd definately fix an exhaust issue vs removing oem bracing.

I've tried loosening up all the parts and then moving them but still makes contacts over bumps. It all started after I changed out my cats, but they seem to be center. I agree with you with keeping the brace but what happened is I went up a bad drive-way and the brace bent. So basiclly I'm weighing buying a new brace or taking the broken one completely off.

now we have the whole story... if it was two undamaged parts and it was hitting that's one thing, but now you're just trying to find a work around for something u know you did bad.. you can take that piece off, goto a machine shop to see if they can repair it for less than $140...

i had a greddy evo2 and no probs blake. try getting a bracket welded on the test pipes and maybe a new bracket/hanger on the exhaust to raise it up a bit. imho, removing a brace is the worst possible idea.
my evo2 has alot of clearance, even my aam 3" td's clear that
