About the same delivery time for me. I was really impressed. I plan on installing it tomorrow and putting it to the test.

Please post back your reactions to the brace after you've had a chance to run it through the paces. An X-Brace is the second mod I plan after a CAI and I'm curious about your opinions on whether it improves the handling/ride. TIA.

As far as I remember form a friend that I installed the Spoon X brace on his S2k (and I believe the idea is the same here too), it is the oil drain plug that it "blocks".

It doesn't really block, the plug, it is reachable, but when you open the plug the oil will drip right on the brace and make an ugly mess... :-(

Get an extention for the oil drain plug, you might wanna use some JB weld on the threads when you bolt the extention onto the oil pan to prevent future problems.

Moti and the Blackbird.

I believe the one Muz is offering is a slightly different design. More like an *A* than an *X*, eliminating the oil drain blockage.

The Whiteline brace will not block your oil drain plug. You will not need an oil drain plug extention. The plug is easily accessable.
