My alutec strut bar cleared my 1/2 inch intake manifold spacer...pics
so I was looking around for a upper front strut bar for my 05 6mt and it was a issue due to me having a 1/2 inch intake manifold space that most bars wouldn’t clear and I came across the brand alutec and it stated it clears 5/16 and 1/2 inch spacers so I gave it a try. True enough it clears with no issue and it’s about a 1/4 of a inch space between manifold and my bar as you can see in pics below.
Sorry to bring up this old thread or if you even have the car anymore but I also have an alutec strut bar with the Z1 angled plenum spacer. And it touches on the 2 sides of the plenum and it vibrates. I was wondering since yours looks like it is touching in the picture if you ever found a fix for this? Or just ran it like this letting it rub and vibrate on the plenum?
