2G EvoIII intake manifold brace?

[A_USER_NAME]

I will be installing an EvoIII intake manifold and just have one thing left unresolved. Car is a 95 GSX, 7 bolt. What brace should I use? (The one on the back of the manifold/block) The stock 2g manifold brace doesn't line up obviously... I can fab something up if need be but a proper oem brace would be better if one exists, I do not want to leave it without a brace.

If you have had an EvoIII intake installed or know someone who does feel free to share! Thanks!

I don't think anybody ever takes off a manifold and puts the bracket back. From what I've seen.

I'm the same, Ported EVO III intake manifold on a 7 bolt scrapped the brace.

Ditto, no need for the brace. Stock,evo3,smim... doesn't matter. The brace is simply there to make removal much more difficult hehe, do away w it

Leave the brace off, it will make it easier access the area behind the engine and remove the manifold in the future if you need too.

I don't use a brace with my evo iii intake.
