Description
09D CNC-Machined Aluminum Tunnel Brace - Strength, Clearance & Precision Engineering
Our 09D Tunnel Brace is a CNC-machined aluminum reinforcement component designed to enhance the structural rigidity of the vehicles exhaust tunnel area while also offering increased clearance for large-bore performance exhaust systems. Installed on the underside of the vehicle, this brace forms part of the floor pan structure, helping to reduce chassis flex and improve overall stability particularly important on fast road and performance builds.
Each brace is individually machined in-house from T6-6082 aluminums, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. To further protect the part and elevate its appearance, we finish every brace with a durable anodized coating, sealing the surface from the elements while adding a clean, professional look.
Key Features & Benefits:
Improved Structural Rigidity: Reinforces the factory tunnel section, reducing flex and improving underbody stability.
Designed for Performance Exhausts: Profiled to provide additional clearance for enlarged bore exhaust systems, reducing the risk of contact or vibration.
CNC-Machined In-House: Precision-machined from T6-6082 aluminum, ensuring a perfect fit, repeatable quality, and a high-strength final part.
Anodised Protective Finish: Enhances corrosion resistance and appearance, ideal for long-term durability in all driving conditions.
Lightweight but Strong: Offers all the strength needed without adding unnecessary weight.
Engineered for Strength, Designed for Clearance
The 09D Tunnel Brace is the result of carefully considered design and in-house machining expertise, providing a simple but effective upgrade that combines structural reinforcement with intelligent exhaust system accommodation.
