You can throw a Y8 intake manifold on there and use any bar you want.

however replacing with a aftermarket intake should work in most cases,
or you could look at dcsports upper strutbars, from here

My buddy has a '96 DX coupe with a homemade turbo kit and he also has an OEM '99-'00 Si strut bar.

I'll say get an aftermarket intake and you'll be set!

Are you sure your acceleration doesn't suck because it's a y7?

I mean the low rpm acceleration become so slow after I use the after market intake....the high-end is good..but lose too much low-end.... that's why I put my OEM back in....

Any idea to get the Tower Bar that I want??
