Under Car Cross Member Question

Does it act as a chassis brace or some sort of rigidity device?

Reason I ask is because I had to remove it to install my X pipe...
Even the cross member provided with the the X pipe rubbed.

I'm not sure if I should just add 20mm spacers and install the bar or just leave it off.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know what it does, but I'm pretty sure it is not there for looks. . .

I would replace it.

Good point...

I just finished re installing it with spacers... Lots of clearance now!

Thanks for the sanity check.
