Show off your Sedans!
I noticed your picture doesn't show the brace installed that goes under the mid pipes.
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'm putting my money on a +40 rear +45 front
Looks superb BTW.

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
F) 9.5" +25 with 245's
R)10.5" +37 with 275's



No rubbing at all with around -1.2° camber in front and -2.4° camber in the rear.

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.

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.

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.
