What is this piece? (Just got exhaust installed)
So I got my FI HFC's and Intimidator installed and when I got my old parts, this was one of the pieces. What is it? And should it go back on the car? It's an 08 Base.

catalytic converter brace, if your new cats dont have the brackets you wont need it.

yep, i just have this sitting around in my garage. Some HFC's and test pipes still actually use it but sometimes cause cracking because they dont allow the pipes to flex

All these guys are wrong. It's a back scratcher.

Too bad you cannot use that support brace on your aftermarket cats. I would have no piece of mind if I didn't use my support brackets..
Thank God my Berks utilize the stock support brace.

I actually have one of the earlier Berk HFC that don't use the support brackets. It's been fine for me for almost a year.
