Lower sub frame braces ?

Lower sub frame braces ?
A while ago when I installed my 3" turbo back exhaust I had to remove the lower braces to install the DP. 3 of the bolts snapped no big deal.. I can drill and retap. I noticed though that the flimsy factory braces wouldn't really work any more with the larger DP so I never put them back on but now I want that area fixed. Is there any aftermarket sub frame braces that will clear big DP's ? I can fabricate myself if need be but want to see what others have done. I'm sure I'm not the only one who encountered this.

Yea, I thought about spacers but if I recall, I was looking at about 1/2", possibly a little more and I didn't want these things or the bolts protruding from under the car so that's why I didn't take that road. Like I said, those bars are kind of cheesy anyway, can't really see them serving any useful purpose.. I could be wrong though..

I'm running the MXP 3" downpipe (RRE also sells it under their name) . This downpipe clears the ACD and chassis brace without any need of spacers.
I've had all different brands of downpipes and this was the most perfect fitting one there is. It is also a well built with quality flanges item.
To answer your question:
In the past I've either used the spacers the downpipe manufacturer included or ran multiple washers for clearance.
