Hi fellas,

In order to fit my R1 exhaust manifold in my panther i have had to chop out the nearside engine bay diagonal brace. it was where the yellow line is on the follwing picture.

V shaped brace. From top left to centre bottom, then back up to topr right.

Make sense?

Put a diagonal brace at either side of the exhaust, as close as you can get. Or even put an X shape at either side.

As David said. V shaped brace.
