thatgmpartsguy just emailed me stating that he just got the braces in today and will be shipping them out this afternoon. Will post pics once I get it.

As for the catchcan, your guess is as good as mine.

I was wondering exactly same thing. I'm interested in one but will wait until someone on this forum confirms it will work with Mishi catch can.

Do you have Mishimoto catch can on your car by any chance? I really want one of these but want to also keep the catch can.

I'm in the same boat, I want one of these, but I need to confirm that the Mishimoto can will work with it. The bracket is pretty thin, I think it would work sandwiched between the braces, but I need to be sure.

I have the can installed on my convertible, which has the brace. The mishimoto bracket is sandwiched between the strut tower and the brace...very simple.
Only problem is is is a little tricky unscrewing the can because with the brace installed it gets pretty crowded in that area so I make sure to not screw the can on too tight.

Thank you for the quick reply. That seems bit cramped but definitely doable.

Does the GM brace only bolt into one spot on the tower as it appears?
