Has anyone installed a Magna flow 16645 catback with a Kappasphere ReBar? I already have the ReBar installed. Like it alot! I was considering the Magnaflow catback and then realized that there could be a fit issue between the two. Anyone out there have any experience with this? Thanks in advance for the replies

The Kappe bar doesn't work with many exhausts, if you want a brace that works with any, get the DDM brace

Hi, new to forum, reluctant to ask stupid questions. Have a GXP for about a month; loving it; anxious to try some of the mods you guys talk about. Finally figured out how to debadge and doing that.

Here goes: what does the Kappasphere/DDM bar/brace stiffen? What is its a purpose?
Thanks, Rallyracer

The DDM was the only one I could install with my Magnaflow.

For information on the product just go to DDM's site (in the Supporting Vendors section).

Once you start increasing your horse power with a tune, wide open throttle will flex the car, the brace helps control that.

The reBar also does not work with the new stacked SOLO exhaust. I have to check the fitment of the DDM brace.

Just a update. The Kappashere ReBar will work with the Magnaflow exhaust on a GXP if you want to do a little slicing and dicing, I trimmed approxmately 3/8" out the drivers side web on the ReBar . I first trial fitted it on the car and marked the interference areas with a Sharpie. Then I used a hacksaw and die grinder to remove the offending material. Bolted it back up and took it for a test drive and everything worked fine. No squeaks or grinding noises. Checked the tailpipe and could find no evidence of any rubbing. I'm happy, hated to loose my ReBar when I added the Magnaflow!
