Does anyone have a picture of the stock drive train stabalizer?
I looked at mine the other day and I saw the bar under the tranny, but didn't see it attached anywhere. Is this normal?

The arrow points to the stock lower tie bar. The red line is about where the DTS bar goes.

Excellent work buy "Innovator" and all involved in development of the final product. It works very well. Some cars do not have the lower tie bar, so all the people that are worried about safety and transmission submarine, well if it can push that steel bar out of the way then it can certainly snap the DTS fasteners like a twig in the case of an accident.<ul><li><a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&PMoI=4&PEI=6&PP=s4_27t_driv etrain.cfm&PPT=Drivetrain&IL=AWEDTS">AWE DTS look at the bottom pic...no bar.</a></li></ul>

No, only the DTS connects to the trans. The stock bar does not.

That's not an S4 on the AWE site. Could be a 1.8T, Passat, A6...

If I had to venture a guess, body stability.
Probably makes the body stiffer.
