There's a thread about this from esfourteen. You have to install the brace back on.

Edit: And notice how everyone talking about rattles has an Invidia? It's no coincidence. Without the brace, you're putting too much stress on the exhaust's flex sections.
Any picture how the brace is attached as when I ask my installer to put it on he said it's not possible some alteration is required. Does it need some new support points?

Also, did you guys contact Invidia directly for the replacement flex joints?
sorry to hear about that
