Default ARH ory ?

Did any of you have to remove your tunnel brace after you installed your ARH/ORY. Mine seem to hang kinda low . I tried to space down the brace with washers but it still hits the exhaust and I'm always hiting it on the ground at driveways and speed bumps and stuff. I hate to remove it because my car is a vert and needs all the help it can get for stiffness but its rattling on the exhaust and scraping the ground all the time. Driving me nuts.

I had the same issue - I just removed it. Get some SFC's for verts to make up for the lost stiffness

I'm a vert too, no tunnel brace there is no way to make them fit with the larger exhaust. Go with the some SFC, those will do 50x more then that brace ever will.

I just put a 1/4" thick piece of flat rubber in between the ory and tunnel brace on my buddys car. Over time it will melt though so I also wrapped it in tin foil first. No more rattling.

i had a problem with my ARH ORY hanging to low, did you try bending the exhaust bracket that attaches to the y pipe?...i put a swivel jack on the merge in the y pipe and pushed it up as far as i could then took a rubber mallet and beat the bracket up until it held the y pipe up higher... it worked for me no more rattling
