I have an 01 LX 4 door with a cold air that is a short ram right now do to the weather here. I ordered a set of strut bars off of Highprospeed.com and the front one is to long and it is a flat bar so the intake is the way do to the up curve on it. So can people post up picks of their strut with intake on and where they got it and the price. Thanks Mike

 

you try getting a DC front strut bar.

thats the only one i know of that bends around the intake. but im probably wrong and there might be others out there.

 

Nuespeed makes one that bends as well and I'm not 100% sure but doesn't Mugen make one with the bend also.

Mugen's DC5 strut bar won't clear the hood, and no, it doesn't bend.

 

heres my engine bay w/ the neuspeed strut bar and AEM v2

 

^^^ looks good and clean. im thinking about getting the same set-up haha

I have the front strut bar, but a stock intake box. But I can pretty much assure you it won't fit an aftermarket intake.

 

so it clears the hood then?

 

Yep.

 

cool, could you just trim down the end of you intake where i connects to the throttle body

 

Worst photo ever.

 

my phone takes better pictures than that lol

 

here's mine with Injen intake when it was silver... before the repaint!

 

Dang, I guess you can squeeze an intake in there.

Poor lighting in the garage, had to spend time in photo shop to get it to this point lulz

 

Will thanks guys for the photos and stuff. I will have to look into getting a higher priced one now. I got mine from Highprospeed.com and that wont reply to me after sending them pictures of it on my car showing that it is to long for the car anyways. So i guess i will probbly go with the neuspeed.

LOL I had to learn that the hard way and was a $300.00 trial n error LMFAO

 

The neuspeed one would't fit the hybrid, because the AC lines are right above the left shock tower.

The DC and the cusco may fit though. hmmm

I need to go to a shop and try a bunch, the AC line and the Tower bolt thats closest to the windshield on the left is the issue.




What do you think would work?
