It most likely rubs the engine cover, and wouldnt fit on any aftermarket plenum or spacer. If this is ARC's bar... BIG thumbs down! 
Here is a closer look what i found on google

I am still trying to figure out what makes you think that a 3 piece unit with hinges has any more (or less) flex than a one piece
. I promise there is no difference in torsion rigidity between the two designs (one piece or three) once they are installed and tightened. Just that the three piece ones are ALOT easier to put on and actually work on your motor. (almoost all STB's are in sections, it is a design that works)Let me know what you wanna do........
