Removal of W Brace
 
I was forced to remove the W brace under my Z to accommodate my Megan racing exhaust. Does anybody know if this will impact anything for the driving experiencing or tracking it?
Also is there any aftermarket brace I can use? Thanks guys

That brace is a good thing. If your exhaust fits so badly you have to take it off, get a different exhaust.

This may be part of the reason you are experiencing wheel hop.

I seriously doubt that the brace removal is causing the wheelhop.

Probably not the cause but possibly a contributing factor.

Yeah I was thinking this was a factor in the wheel hop I'm experiencing
Only reason I took it off was because my mechanic said it wouldn't cause any change in the car

The brace is to keep the body from flexing.

The rear strut brace and the lower brace have a purpose albeit not really noticeable but they are there for a reason not just for looks.

Like it's been suggested get the exhaust fitted properly or move on to another exhaust that is designed with the brace in mind.
