Default Rear strut tower brace?

Do they make a rear strut tower brace that is compatible with the Shaker1000 system? I saw that Steeda makes one but it won't work with the subs in the back. Any ideas?

Build your own, that's what I'm going to do.

Tip of the Month, October: Do not buy the $730 Roush Exhaust which a Mangnaflow rep says costs to $117 make (polished, all ss), buy the $170 Roush Exhaust Tips estimated to cost $46 to make and weld them to another company's muffler. This also lets you choose how your car sounds.

Its a rear shock tower brace, and it does require welding.

Sorry, shock brace. I misspoke with strut. Wow, some people are so friendly on here. You would think they would be out doing something productive with their life besides watching themselves type useless comments.

ROFLMAO
Almost as good as the Red LocTite on the drain plug
Or the ever so popular -
Motor oil flush procedure post thats a classic...
"Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok)."
Dont feel bad, moss muscle calls them rear strut tower braces also...
www.mossmuscle.com
sells three different rear shock mount braces.
One follows the trunk floor.
One is in the middle as to block access to the front with the rear seats
folded down and the third is up under the parcel shelf.

Take your pick....

Didn't mean what I said in a bad way. I was just simply putting the proper terminology out there so others didn't get confused. I apologize if it sounded bad.

nice, way to man up. Takes a big man to apologize, even if it wasn't your intent. +1 for that.
