The brace didn't line up with the new tabs on the pipes, so I had to grind on the bracket. So the fit isn't perfect. The fit to the manifold and exhaust is good.

Didn't start it up yet. Waiting on the rtv to dry.
Which side did you have trouble with the tab, one side or both? The hole in the tab can be made a little larger in diameter to accommodate more car to car variability.
Would that have done it for you?

Thank you,
Tony

If I remember correctly one side was good , passenger, but then the other side was about a half inch off. I ended up grinding off the lip on the factory connecting bracket and mounted it that way. Kind of hard to describe on here.
