Exhaust rubbing on front braces?

Exhaust rubbing on front braces?
Recently for what ever reason the exhaust is rubbing on the stock braces underneath. Its an AMS 3" exhaust, what do you guys recommend? I used to rub minimally from time to time but now its just too much.
I saw the GSPEC Front 4 point ladder brace but was woudnering if that is the best option since I need to get something that will clear the exhaust and stop the annoying noise at certain RPM ranges or driving around the parking lot.
Thanks all happy Veterans Day!

Shimming is probably the easiest/quickest/cheapest way. And not much wrong with it.
Otherwise you could use a carbing 6 point bar which apparently has a lot of clearance. Or a works croxx plate. I use the works with a megan 3inch. Its got room...but not a whole ton of it. My dp never hits or vibrates against it or anything though.

Shim it or buy the carbing 6-point.
My buddy's evo just needed a touch of clearance, so we were able to get away with a stack of 3 washers just on the middle bolt on the front bar and bend the bar a little.

I think I used some old head bolt washers with a stack of 2 or so on each side. The on the one that was closest I cut a rubber hose in half (like a 1/2" hose), and zip tied it so it would rub on that instead of the metal bar. After 2 years it hasn't melted so Ill call it good.

i have the same problem with my dc downpipe. I only hear the rubbing when it rains and is very annoying. I was thinking about spacing the brace out so it doesnt touch but i solved the problem by just not driving in the rain anymore lol
