The ECS Tuning Billet Tunnel Brace for the modern day MQB chassis replaces the thin stamped steel brace installed from the factory. The substantial added thickness and width ensures a more rigid connection to both sides of the tunnel. The chassis brace is CNC machined out of 6061-T6 billet aluminum and beautifully anodized in your choice of gloss red or gloss black to offer both great looks and durability.

PART DESIGN

  • In-house designed and engineered using FARO ARM laser scanning technology and SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling for precision fitment 

  • Made from a solid block of 6061-T6 aluminum

  • Features a chunky 8mm thickness for added rigidity

  • Designed intentionally to aid in larger diameter exhaust clearance 

  • Anodized in your choice of Type II gloss red or gloss black finish

  • Post-anodized machined ECS Tuning logo 

  • Compatible with factory side belly covers with no trimming required 

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

  • Our tunnel brace is a precision engineered structural component that ensures power is transferred properly and not lost through chassis flex, without any perceivable increase in NVH. 

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

  • Our ECS Billet Rear Tunnel Brace was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT

  • Mounting nuts are reusable. Replacements are available under ES470794. Torque to 20 Nm.
