I know RPM makes one but it's like half of the DTE brace.
1. I have well over 150 launches between 4500 and 6500 RPM on drag radials and ET Streets. No catastrophic breakage to-date.
2. All other RPM cars running this piece have similar success.
And the fact that there are physically fewer parts to it means it's lighter (I believe it's less than HALF the weight of the DTE piece - 12 lbs vs. 26 lbs. [per DTE's site].)
The RPM brace reinforces only where needed and that allows it to do its job with fewer parts.
For the record, I have a 463 RWHP head/cam 'vert with 4.10s and it sees ~80-100 hard (track) launches a year.

I should add that DTE does offer an A4 model - RPM does not currently do so.
