Anybody w/ ETS 3.5" Downpipe: What Chasis Under Braces do you use???

Hey Guys, I can't use my Cusco under braces with my sweet *** ETS 3.5" Turbo Back Exhaust. Anybody have this exhaust and still use some form of a chasis brace.

I was thinking maybe the Tanabe 4-point brace would work but I'm not sure how much lower it really is compared to the Cusco stuff. Thanks for any help anybody can provide.

Have you tried spacing the brace down a bit? It's only minimal spacing of the factory tie bars to get clearance to our 3.5" downpipe so that might be worth a shot so you could keep that sweet Cusco brace!

Tom, maybe you should contact CBRD about this then. I was under the car when it was on the lift and it will take a hell of a lot more then minimal spacing to get the Braces to work. LMK, what you think. Thanks for any help you can provide. I love the kit and will support ETS for a very long time. Thanks again...

Joe I have the RMR brace. It will clear a 3.5" DP. It dips down where the DP goes. Ask Chad about mine he knows which one I have

This is the one I've got for use with my 3" Megan DP. Plenty of extra room for a 3.5"

Gotcha. I've not dealt with the Cusco brace previously, was just throwing that idea out since I didn't know how far you'd been into the process I know Chad would make it work if it were possible!

The cusco brace only works with the stock downpipe, right?
