could you take some pictures of the bar and post them up, either here or on your website b/c like you said it is not the right picture.

It's kind of a PITA to take pics of because of the shroud:

EDIT: Doh, can't link the image - just click on it in the product description.

Did you get the Corsport brace? Are they are same? In the picture, it looks like you have to lose the plastic cover piece, is that true, or do you just have to remove it to install the brace?

By the way, if you ever want to install a boost gauge on your supercharger, let me know and I will send you the "special" fitting you need for the intake. I have several extra, since I was force to buy a bulk package of them.

I think it is. Carbing is a good brand. Here is another one on Inline Four but it is To Be Announced (TBA) for the Si. http://www.inlinefour.com/catoba.html

i wouldn't buy it. i don't think there's a noticeable difference over the stock brace.
plus you might get understeer, since you are stiffening the front up.

I say spend the money toward sway bars. you can feel a difference with sway bars. body roll is minimized. if you own a sedan go for the CTR front and rear sways.

sway bars &gt; tower bars

I got the carbing bar from Cor. You have to remove the cowl for installation, and put it back. The tower bar is pretty, but once installed you cannot see it.

I have an AEM boost gauge already. I just T'd off the hose that is on the front/bottom of the blower.

This was where we tied into originally. We moved to one of the 10-32 holes under the fuel rail cover, on the manifold. Course, as I mentioned, it did not help my gauge problem again.
