Did you reinstall it after everything was complete? Or did you leave it off?

I noticed when i hit bad bumps my exhaust hits the brace and makes a clunking noise.

I took it off and it solved the issue but i put it back on the next day because i was afraid it would be added stress to everything else upstream.

I left the brace off. The instructions mentioned to do so. Also, when we tried test fitting the brace, it made contact with the exhaust.

Looks superb BTW.
Between you and Rochester I can't catch a break hahaha it was late, okay. And tiger people have weird opinions.

I bought my FI-Cat back used and it didn't come with instructions. I had no idea that it said to leave it off.

Surprisingly my brace fits on however there is like millimeters of clearance with the exhaust. It only hits the brace on bad bumps. I have FI High flow cats as well.

I was concerned that leaving it off could contribute to the high flow cats cracking due to added stress because of the extra movement in the exhaust when hitting bumps.

Quite a few members have had issues with their HFCs cracking on them. I wonder if it is related

Although I'm running 20's, but the offset information should still apply. Listed below are my wheel/tire specs in these pics:
F) 9.5" +25 with 245's

Do you know if your FI HFC's have an integral bracket for mounting to the factory CAT brackets like the Berks do (see below pics)? If so, then this should provide adequate support for the HFC's.

Nope. Not FI cats and test-pipes.

FI is good stuff but its kind of ridiculous that they charge the most for their HFC's and don't provide any kind of way to mount the factory bracket back on.

Let's revive this thread. About to officially own my G for 1 year. I think I've made decent progress.

Thank you! The mod list isn't too extensive, but it's enough to transform the overall car haha.
