BF IRS Brace hitting or close to exhaust?

[K-Dubb]

I had a bf irs brace installed today. The guy called me and said it was really close to the exhaust, and he was concerned with it rattling. I have the non stinger borla catback. Anyone else have this issue, or should I not worry about it? The car is still at the shop.

Yup. :dw:

I have the same Borla exhaust that you do and my BF brace fits without interference. What I was worried about was how close the pipes are to the gas tank, but it's never caused any problems.

Move the exhaust down a little? The diff should stay pretty darn still, if it doesn't, you have other problems to worry about. I have about a 1/4" space between my brace and exhaust pipes.

yes but i was able to adjust the exhaust so it wouldn't touch. but yes it needed help because of the brace

I have about a 1/4", so I think it will fine. I think the installer was just concerned since he had never installed one before. Thanks for the input.

Mine is pretty close also.
