{"product_id":"aluminum-tunnel-brace-kit","title":"Aluminum Tunnel Brace Kit","description":"It replaces the weaker OE stamped-steel tunnel braces with a precisely machined aluminum component. This upgrade not only improves the vehicle's rigidity under demanding loads but also offers valuable extra clearance for larger diameter exhaust systems, accommodating aftermarket upgrades.\n\nConstructed from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, each brace features a FEA-developed triangulation design that maximizes stiffness while minimizing weight. The CNC machining is performed in the UK, followed by a polished, gloss black anodized finish. Installation is straightforward, utilizing existing body mounting points without requiring any drilling or trim removal, ensuring a completely reversible fitment.\n\nThis brace is compatible with various Audi and Volkswagen models equipped with MQB or MQB 'EVO' platforms. Key fitments include the Audi A3 8Y (2022-2024) 2.0T FWD, Volkswagen Arteon (2019-2023) 2.0T FWD, and multiple Golf\/GTI Mk7, Mk7.5, and Mk8 variants. Notably, this center tunnel brace is for FWD vehicles only. An important fitment note specifies compatibility with the B8 Passat but explicitly excludes the B7.5 Passat.","brand":"Racingline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663419371832,"sku":"VWR810004","price":257.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687142106.jpg?v=1784326753","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/aluminum-tunnel-brace-kit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
