Strange noise after installing TOM'S rear lower brace
YES, at 1000-1100 rpm, there is a strange noise / hurrrrrr like a bad exhaust/muffler - but and i feel the noise transmitted to the car - the noise i can hear it only in the cabin - NOTHING outside NOR under the car - maybe the brace is touching the exhaust pipes ? what else ? thx.
i have the stock exhaust and the closed type lower brace

There are only a few exhaust systems that will work with the closed type.

Two threads I originated after installing the closed Tom's brace on my car. Had to remove the resonators on the Tanabe exhaust. The vibration did vary by RPM. Per Neo, there are only a few systems that clear.

i would doubt that chris has the closed type for it would be hitting on the reson and would not mount.. i have heard of a few with the open type having just the rear part just touching the exaust , enough to tranmit the vibration.. check your exaust hangers to see if drooping , also make sure engine mounts and tranny mounts are good

THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED - i cut off the front arm of the brace so now i have an open one ( anybody interested in that piece ? lol ) - no more vibrations, no noise...
Again those with stock exhaust - BUY THE OPEN BRACE !

hahahaha, this was my first option yesterday - too much hassle ! Black & Decker rulz ! lol !
P.S - A funny thing - the closed brace came with 2 pieces of black insulating rubber to be installed between the brace and the exhaust pipes, but i found them melted today ...

My open one came with 1 or two bits of rubber which I don't think got used on the install. No rubbing or noise problems here.
