Default Need a strut tower brace to fit Densecharger pipe on 97 GT

On my 97 gt, it came with the stock strut tower brace. However, when i installed my densecharger throttle body pipe i was no longer able to use the s/t brace since i had some clearance issues. So now i am trying to find a company that makes a brace that will clear the pipe and still bolt up to the stock holes. Does anyone know of any brand that does this? I have been looking into mac and bbk. I know bbk bolts up to the stock holes but not sure if it clears. On the other hand i am pretty sure mac clears since it says it clears the mac tb pipe and this is similar to the densecharger one, but it doesnt say if it bolts up to the stock holes. Does anyone know?

What about the 96-98 cobra brace? I think it may clear the pipe and should bolt into the factory holes..but i am not sure. Long time no see!
