Does anyone have any experience with Motordyne's TDX2 exhaust for earlier model 350z's (2003 in this case) and the GTSPEC 4 chassis brace? At stock height I managed to bottom out leaving a gas station and put a small crack in the TDX2 muffler. I have since repaired it but would like to prevent it from happening again and it looks like the underbody brace may serve as a sort of brush guard to protect the exhaust in that area. as a bonus, the added stiffness, however minimal, may benefit autox and track days as well.

Does anybody have both of these on their cars? if so, how's the fitment and does it look like it could provide sufficient protection from everyday driving?

Is raising the car some not an option?

 

It is but probably not with stock suspension. I've had the exhaust for well over a year now and this is the only time height has been an issue. I'm really just exploring my options and the bracing seemed like it may be better suited because bottoming out is a very rare occurrence.
