Cusco Power BRace

Anyone know if the Cusco Power Brace will work with a JMFab Intercooler?
Thanks

The intercooler in the link will fit behind the Cusco power brace. You will need to take the measurements of the above intercooler and see if the one that you are looking at or have is the same dimensions. If its larger it will not work. I looked at the dimensions and I do not think that it will work. the reason is the width the ETS is 3.0 or 3.5 and the JM Fab is 3.8.

I have the ETS on my car and it fits great and is a great intercooler.

Is there a reason you want the power brace? It does literally nothing but add weight.

I was about to ask if this part did anything, but thanks for saving me the trouble.

No disrespect to the OP intended.

I should add this as well. Its your car, and the brace isn't hurting anything [cough]herrafrush[cough]. Just wanted to note, its not stiffening anything useful.

Im curious if anyone who has used this has noticed any benefits? I dont have one or plan to buy one but im just simply curious. As far as weight is concerned, its gotta be significantly lighter than the factor crash beam.

Does the factory crash beam offer any rigidity vs nothing bolted up at all? Of so, it may not be a bad product as itll retain the rigidity of the front end but itll also help to shed weight off the front of the car which we all know will help the awful weight distribution of the car. Just thinking out loud here...
