W Brace Replacement

dedoom · 10-06-2017, 04:17 AM

My W brace is efffffffed up. Has anyone installed any aftermarket W brace alternatives? Z1 sells the oem one but might as well upgrade to something more rigid. I know Megan, gt spec and soul function have braces for sale. There advertising is sketchy, doesn't really show what goes where... or maybe I'm just dumb. I'm also assuming that all three companies have the same product, so it really doesn't matter which one I choose. Just need to change to asap. Can 't take another day of my exhaust vibrating with the brace.

I wasn't able to find one I like, just bought a OEM replacement.

No one has a bought an aftermarket replacement?

Replaced mine with OEM as well, no alternatives available last time I looked.

Bringing this one back as I'm in the same boat. I've got an Ark DT-S and cannot stand the vibrations! Rather frustrated that for $1,500 Ark couldn't put a little more R&D into it but I'm stuck now. Looking into exhaust shops to perform surgery on the exhaust, but a slimmer brace would probably also do the trick!
