So just eyeballing it, it doesn't appear I'm going to have the proper clearance for my exhaust tubing w/ my rear subframe brace installed...

Anyone got pics to prove me wrong?

I know I'll have to hang my ebrake junction somehow to clear pipes regardless.

Edit: I bought the 2.5" kit
 
I did, but I had to modify the pipes quite a bit.

Modify how?

I guess I should have asked, will they clear the diff, in order to properly go thru the subframe brace?
 
Oiy?

First I've heard of anyone having clearance issues with the brace... ??
 
Well, no issues yet... but I more think I will have an issue with the diff in the way. Since the pipes are kinda large.

Mine doesn't fit either. Eventually, I'll get it to fit, just haven't had the time.

The guy that did my exhaust didn't do the greatest job of tucking it up tight...



edit: I don't have the mandrel exhaust kit, I just have a custom bent exhaust that I had made about 7 1/2 years ago...
 
Okay... I'll adjust my dimensions on future braces, and offer up an exchange if you guys would like. I based them off mine, which currently is the stock single and I believed I had "eyeballed" enough room for larger duals.

Where do I need to adjust the brace? Lower? Change the angle? Bob
 
It's been a while since I looked at it, I'll try and see how it needs to be adjusted this weekend, and let you know.
