MagnaFlow Exhaust and rear power brace fitment

[NYCDriver]

When installing the MagnaFlow exhaust with the 3.5 inch pipes, I had to remove the OEM rear power brace as it wouldn't fit.

Will the Cusco Rear Power Brace fit? Are there any other options?

Watching. My Titan motorsports exhaust won't fit either, but that flimsy piece of aluminum can't actually do anything, so at least there's no loss in removing it.

I just installed the Cusco power brace yesterday and have the 3.0 mid pipe on my Magnaflow catback.

Both sides clear the brace by about 3/4" to 1" but I also had clearance with the OEM brace. I'm not sure the 3.5" mid pipe would negate that much clearance though.

What about adding some washers between the bolts and the brace?

We have a customer running the Eibach and the Akrapovic with no issues.

That looks like it will fit with the 3.5inch pipe,

The OEM was touching the pipe not all the way screwed in, I think added washers would negate the purpose of the brace entirely.

I looked online and couldn't find an Eibach brace, it's this thing

I have this setup and had occasional rubbing with the power brace that could be heard through the car - really annoying
I just added a couple washers to push the brace far enough away.

How much clearance does the cusco power brace provide over the oem brace? I just installed a valvetronic designs catback and had the shim the oem brace with 3 washers per hole to get it to clear the exhaust.

Should double check as it fits fine. Something has to be off.

For my 2020 it was touching the powerbrace and causing a really bad drone, the cusco has a lower clearance and doesn't touch
