Cai And Strut Brace... - Drivesthebeast - 08-09-2005 I was contemplating buying a strut tower brace, even if it doesn't do a whole lot...the only thing is, I know a lot of them are designed to fit underhood with the factory air intake...I'm thinking that it should fit with an AEM CAI...shouldn't it? Cai And Strut Brace... - S2 - 08-09-2005 Which strut brace are you looking at getting? They are all slightly different so some would fit, some won't....... Cai And Strut Brace... - Oscar The Grouch - 08-09-2005 Let me tell you this much... SPI engine + Steeda High Flow Intake + Steeda strut tower bar + BDR 60mm TB = rubbage. We had to "chop" the intake and associated hardware to give some clearance. I will post pics of the setup. Cai And Strut Brace... - Drivesthebeast - 08-09-2005 Well, I wonder if the FC or FS one will fit...I know the one from Neuspeed likely wouldn't... Cai And Strut Brace... - Oscar The Grouch - 08-09-2005 I think the Steeda = FC but repackaged. Cai And Strut Brace... - NOS2Go4Me - 08-09-2005 He has the Zetec, not sure how much that influences things. It really depends if the bar keeps close to the firewall, or swings out over the engine itself. The more it clears the throttle body, the better (when looking from the top down). Cai And Strut Brace... - FociBC - 08-10-2005 you'd see better feedback from the rear brace than you would from the front. If your nice enough you could ask mitch to find his write up he did on this whole topic about a year ago. Very good info Cai And Strut Brace... - focusnme - 08-10-2005 it fits when i design a intake for you!! p.m. i have a brace and my own intake and its fits fine!! Cai And Strut Brace... - ANTHONYD - 08-10-2005 Just hack the s**t out of your hood a promote rust like Mason did! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Cai And Strut Brace... - El Diablo - 08-16-2005 I have a Focus sport bar and no problem with a AEM CAI and now, with A Focus Sport Cool-Flo. This setup work well in a SPI and a Zetec.... Sorry for the dirty engine bay, it's a last winter pics....
