Do I really need the flimsy tunnel brace?
That flat metal brace that goes from one side of the driveshaft tunnel to the other is contacting my y-pipe pretty bad. Is this piece really needed? It just seems too thin and flimsy to provide much structural support.

I wouldnt call it a brace. It is very thing and can be bent to shape by hand fairly easy. It serves no purpose other than to safegaurd against the exhaust fauling down and maybe the driveshaft depending on how it breaks. If GM designed it to be a brace then they failed miserably.

That's what I figured. I took it off today and had to wedge a piece of radiator hose b/w the y-pipe and the floorboard under the driver and now there's no banging at all. Maybe I'll go with a poly mount in the future and then I wouldn't have to worry about it.
