I guess the proper term would be "Tunnel brace", it is a heavy duty U shaped object that bolts to both sides of the SLP 3 point sub frame connectors tying them together for extra strength and goes under the drive shaft. I tried to find a picture of it @ the BMR site, however they do not carry it anymore.
This picture is pretty close to what I have from a different manufacturer:

This is not the BMR brace, however it will give you a good idea of what I have installed

Default UMI Bolt-On SFCs

i’ve had the bolt on connectors, on my convertible ‘00 Camaro, for 8 years, and they’ve worked fantastically. Like the gentleman before, I also use Loctite on the two front bolts, and I’ve checked them once a year; so far they’ve not come loose at all. If you do use the bolt on subframe connectors, and you find that they are coming loose, you can always add weld on some 1/4” plates, much like the UMI SFCs that have both bolt-on ( front mount ), along with two plates on the sides.
