Default Z06 diff brace owners

I want to put a diff brace on my c5 z06 and I was told I have to cut an ear off on only the z's. I don't want to do this and heard you can't get an rpm brace anymore

Not sure on the C6Z's but the cases are the same on the C5Z and other 3 series transmissions/rears. I run a C5Z setup in the vert with an ECS brace - no problems.

With the ECS differential brace you have to cut off a small block off the side cover of the differential. On the DTE and RPM brace you don't. We have limited the production of our differential brace because of our extreme work load and with 2 other good differential braces already on the market there really doesn't need to be another.

To get down to business, the ECS brace fits better but the DTE brace has openings for the tabs on the diff. We sell both braces so if you have any more questions feel free to shoot me a PM or give me a call.
