I know some manufacturer's put dyno sheets on their web sites to show gains and they can be manipulated one way or another but I think 10 np/tq gains are realistic.
whether they do or don't is not an issue here. Do a search and find out for yourself. I for one have a POPCharger, I know I am not getting any more power from it, but I love the sound. Again I will attach my pict of this bar with my Crawford plenum Z Tube and POPCharger. As has been stated above, a CIA is just a long tube that will not interfere with this STB.

Thanks for the info...I know what a CAI is and depending on the manufacturer they may place them closer to the ground in an attmept to get cooler air into the engine...and they only way I would agree with you not getting any more power is via a before and after dyno with no other changes, same dyno, same atmospheric conditions etc...there is no way anyone can feel 10 hp on a 280 hp car....throttle response may be better..

You guys all need to buy this strut bar. I intended to get in on this buy but due to a turn of events, I can't burn the money yet.

Good luck!

Adrian

PS. the more people that buy it now, the higher chance of finding a used one for me in the future, so BUY NOW!

Well, I'm with sephiroth on this one. I will get this if someone can confirm that the strut will fit with a stock intake.

1. Canadian (JWT twin turbo)
2. lekker_droom (vortech now? or soon?)
3. SDGeneralCounsel (vortech)
4. Beebo
5. G35Sedan03 (kinetix plenum, 5/16 spacer, injen CAI, tein basics) future plan for stillen stage 3 SC
6. xx7sephiroth7xxx (05 coupe plenum// 5/16 spacer// stock intake;; will buy if someone can show me exactly how to fit this bar with stock intake box)
7. viceversa
8. EnerOnE (06 coupe plenum 5/16 spacer/ if strut fits with a stock intake)
9.
10.

well, I've talked to IntGr8 (Ian) and he says that the only to fit this strut bar with the OEM air intake box is to take a heat gun to it and re-shape a corner of the box... unfortunately, i don't think i'm savvy enough to take that job on, so if there isn't another way, then i guess i'm just going to have to get a stillen intake. the reviews for this strut bar, especially ian's, have pretty damn near sold me on this bar, so I think paying a little extra for a stillen intake is worth it to me...
sorry to have to update myself on the list, again.

you can always try and pick up an intake in the marketplace from a forum member or through one of the vendors. I think stillencoupe is parting out his car and i believe he has a stillen intake. Send him a pm, i picked up his TE-37s this weekend.

I'm actually one step ahead of you... I already asked him, but he said he'd rather sell it as a total kit with that stage 4 stillen supercharger... so he said he'd let me know if the person who bought the supercharger didn't take the stillen intake kit

If I wasn't spending my money elsewhere on other projects, I would buy one just to have a spare...
