removing x brace.

I was wondering if anyone has eliminated their x brace for ypipe clearence? I have a mufflex Y and a spohn tunnle brace now but the Y still hits the tunnl brace. I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to get rid of it all together

I just installed jet hots and a ory and I also removed my x brace.The issue that im having is that when i take off hard and the car squats it makes a loud grinding noise. Has anybody had this issue?

I cant comment on the brace being all that effective or not because its pretty wimpy, but when I had my mufflex y installed, I also had KBDD subframes put on. I highly recommend these subframes, car was much much stiffer and the car squats so much better under power.
