Has anyone installed the Steeda Extreme G-trac brace and had header clearance issues? I'm working on completely redoing my suspension right now and with this part, ran into an issue. I'm running Texas Speed 1 7/8 Longtubes and the brace butts up against the driver's side header. I'm assuming most people would just shim the brace down, but was wondering if anyone has had this experience and what did you do?

That's interesting. The BMR Brace sets the cross bar further forward. I'll check it out. Thank you!

I fiddled with it last night and got it to fit. Ended up making a 3/16" spacer and now I have plenty of clearance. I think I was supposed to have these spacers in the package anyhow. I'm assuming they were lost in shipment because the box had been torn open and retaped. Thanks guys, onto the next part of the suspension.

I just had LTH headers installed and no issues with my BMR 4 point. I had Steeda but I didnt like how low it hung down.

Yeah, I just had to force it a bit and grind out one of the holes. It went right on after that. What Catback are you running?

For me, I have the LTH Long Tube Headers with high flow cats, I have the Borla Switchfire and everything back from their is stock with Active quad exhaust tips.

Nice! I'm getting ready to replace my catback. LT-catless with Roush catback is obnoxious loud!

My old self, would be running Zoomys. Four-2" pipes running out each side of my car. But; now I go a lot less crazy loud. But hey, make yours loud and proud. Have fun

Yeah, I gotcha. I like the noise, but it's high pitched right now. Gonna calm it down with MBRP Street, hopefully get a deeper tone as well.

Just installing the LTH made a huge difference in the quality, and low tone out the exhaust.
