guess what i actually have experiece on this topic. Mine got extremely bend (low and loopy) I drove mine for 3 days while i was waiting for the part to come in. I drove it hard , i drove it soft, i am extremely sensitive to how my car feels and i could'nt tell a diff. You've look at it. does it feel or look substancial? but on the flip side , why is it there?

Im pretty sure you guys are talking about the rear sway bar. What exhaust do you have that wont fit with it? I wouldnt take out the sway bar to add 3hp(or put on any exhaust), it WILL throw the balance/handling of the car off, and you will probobly have a heavily understeering Z....

no alberto i know what the sway bars are, i had cuscos, im talking about the large flat black piece that runs from one side to the other right in front of the rear wheels.

and its to add an exhaust onto my single turbo, believe me it will make more than 3 hp!

Lol, sorry I misunderstood you. That brace is more towards the middle of the car, where most aftermarket exhausts bang and clunk. I still prolly wouldnt remove it. Why cant you have your exhaust piping go above that brace?
