I have a 1997 DX hatch and I was looking into strut bars, but im not sure which ones will fit around/over the resonator box properly. If anyone can give me places to find them, brands, or anything else i would need to know thatd be cool

 

No one? just trying to see what would fit before i buy

 

bump for pics if anyone has em of this setup

 

BUMP

 

Neuspeed, DC, hell the password 3-point, just buy something ridged. You don't want to buy one with joints or flexibility, that defeats the purpose of the bar. Stat away from bars that look like the megan racing bars for your car.

 

finally someone answered! lol Thanks for the help

 

My is a 97 LX 4d and the intake box is above the engine. I wonder will the password front strut bar will still fit on it.

from the bars ive been looking at, it seems like only the 3-point bars will fit around the resonator box. Anything else will completely interfere with the box and thus wont fit at all i still havent been able to find pictures of someone with a Y7 that has a bar fitted on.

 

You could buy a Y8 or Z6 intake and go to a side draft throttle body. Ditch the downdraft all together... If you'd like

i would... except i dont have that kind of money to put into a new manifold (college student )Im working more with my handling right now until i can afford to do a swap or boost.

 

yea a friend of mine has the carbon three point and it holds great

 

So the 3 point does fit. GOOD, I have been wanting to buy one for a long time

Thanks

Anyways, do anyone know a write up on how to install the three point strut bar?

Which bar did you get? I know password has installation instructions on their website, just find the 3-point bar and it should be on the same page

 

I have not get any bar yet. I am trying to see which one is better. I like the solid town bar because because I don't have to do any drilling but it is expensive.

SO.......

basically any of these on the bottom of the page would fit.

 

go oem. buy CTR strut bar.

 

agreed. ctr or gsr bar are to of the cleanest routes to go. and if you do decide to use the y8 manifold the most exspensive part should be the new gasket for it. the parts can be found for dirt cheap.

 

does anyone have a instruction on how to install the benen through the shock tower.
do you just drill through the shock tower??
