Removal of W Brace
I was forced to remove the W brace under my Z to accommodate my Megan racing exhaust. Does anybody know if this will impact anything for the driving experiencing or tracking it?
Also is there any aftermarket brace I can use? Thanks guys Last edited by King_Ch1cas; 03-12-2016 at 01:13 AM. |

That brace is a good thing. If your exhaust fits so badly you have to take it off, get a different exhaust.

This may be part of the reason you are experiencing wheel hop.

Probably not the cause but possibly a contributing factor.

Only reason I took it off was because my mechanic said it wouldn't cause any change in the car |

The rear strut brace and the lower brace have a purpose albeit not really noticeable but they are there for a reason not just for looks. Like it's been suggested get the exhaust fitted properly or move on to another exhaust that is designed with the brace in mind.
