It's the exhaust doomaflotchy! I think I have one in my shop that I took off my car. Haven't looked at it for awhile so I'm not sure what kind of shape it is in. But if you are interested, I'll pull it out, inspect it and snap a pic to send to you if you want! I'm just a few hours north of you and might even be coming down to the Huntington Beach area soon. PM me if you are interested!

to tie everything together. You can do one or the other but with both you'll get the best of both worlds.

Hell, I wish I were in Texas, I would send my old tunnel brace for the cost of shipping and a Mountain Dew. . . MANY MANY people remove theres and never reinstall. Should be easy to locate.

The reason I was looking for one is that I got rid of my true duals and going back to a ypipe setup. I was thinking it supports the ypipe at the tunnel. Anyone know where all the ypipe mounting points are? im trying to tuck the custom ypipe up as much as possible to utilize ground clearance.
thanks!

I have one you can have cheap. Its not really needed though. It is a tunnel brace and does not attach to the exhaust in any way. PM me if you want it.
