Bye TSX, hello domestic?
Silly sounding question, but how much does the flex pipe flex? Any banging on the bar going over bumps?

Not much at all. Infact, the only reason why it is there is to releave stress in the exhaust when the engine torques front to back. It does not actually flex much at all....

Dayum! Well, there is the space of a big toe available 
Actually, space is increased from about 1/8" to about 3/8"...plenty of space...more than if you beat the crap out of the heat shield, and less ghetto as well.
Cusco bars improve chassis rigitity, which assist in the responsiveness of your suspension.....a sway bar keeps the control arms flat from side-to-side thereby improving handling be reducing roll.....sway bars have a much greater impact on your handing than chassis braces will....

any thoughts on the type-2's affect on driving? i love my front strut bar since it tightens up steering, but I'm not sure if a chasis bar will change the feel.Originally Posted by MrHeeltoe

Well, these mods have really slight effects anyway.....I am not so sure I could realize a huge difference with the strut bar myself, but if you did I am inclined to think you will feel something with the lower bar too....it really ties things together down there...
