RisingPower Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 If it's the brace just behind the gasket on the y-pipe here shaped like an M, it's the M chassis brace. Only found this out as I was wondering what the plastic covers above it were actually for. http://my350z.com/forum/media-share/250 ... z-pic.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it may be a bit wobbly without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
