Default Does anyone know if an undercar brace wil fit or is my IC pipe in the way??

i'm wanting a h brace or the summit racing braces for the front of the engine.

not sure if i'll be wasting my money as they might not fit due to the intercooler pipe.

can anyone confirm if it will fit from looking at the below pics?

cheers

Front Crossmember brace I reckon you'll struggle unless you can frig it through ?

H-Brace no probs, but get the jacking plate brace too

why they ever made the intercooler pipes to follow that path on the hybrids is just beyond me.

53: whats the gap like from where the sump is and the brace? 10 cm gap? or is it flush? by this i mean how low from the floor.

the IC pipe is about 4cms lower than my sump.. is their another sort of sump guard i could get at least? if i cant fit that as my car is quite low and that is my main worry.

aladin: i havnt had any pipes blow off but if one was to come off.. i dont think it'd be the one under the car.
