05 with a whipple ...what crossmember will work?

[konablue11gt]

Friend just got his whipple installed and is looking for ideas on a shock tower brace that will fit...any ideas? sorry about wrong question in title

I have the same dilemma. Really wanted to keep my Bullitt brace but even with the BMR lowering K member it wouldn't fly. I think Steeda makes one that will work but it's stupid expensive.

Doubt it would work with my cast and camber plates either

Brenspeed will be releasing a new STB soon, that may work. It was designed with a TVS2300, but it should be close to, or, fit.

Keep an eye out! It's a badass STB.

Looks like there are a few but wont clear with the stock hood.

I have a Steeda Brace that fits nicely over my Whipple with a Cervini 2 1/2 " Cowl hood. This one won't fit with Stock hood.

Does the Whipple sit much higher than the FRPP intake? I know the stock boss STB will clear the FRPP manifold.

The height isn't the problem on it so much as the intake tube on the drivers side sits up pretty high and puts it right at the angle in front of the shock tower. The Steeda piece looks like it will work for him as he does have a Cervini hood so clearance there shouldn't be an issue. Steeda's price is stupid though lol. Kelly any idea when Brenspeed is going to have it ready to market?

I modified a GT500 SBT to fit over the Whipple and intake tube. But really does the SBT really make a difference performance wise?

The GT500 braces are cheap and plentiful. I think I paid $20 for mine. Unfortunately they don't look all that great and they do push on the stock hood , enough to bow it if you add a couple washers under the mounting holes for clearance.

Not so much performance wise but we belong to a large car club who do shows for our charity.... gotta look good when the hood is up ya know..lol

 

[GT E UPP]

Yep, it's all for show and looks...like hood scoops...LOL !!

Listen to what this guy says.

Yeah I advised him last night to wait and see what they are coming out with

Are you guys road racing? If not, why the hell do you even need a shock tower brace? I've driven my car hard on the street with, and without, and can't tell a difference at all.
