Quick question, for any one running the borla exhaust. The resonator in the borla system sits pretty low and is in the way of the middle lateral chassis brace that is bolted to the car with two bolts and it doesn't let me get it back on.. What did you guys do to get that brace back on?

 

Thanks!

I bent the brace a little. It was so easy to bend (across my knee) that I would not have put it back on except that it is weight lower than ballast can be legally mounted.

Some don't use the brace at all as it bottoms out easy on the curbs...
