That is indeed the correct bar - I have the same on my S13 with CA. For reference you will pay $165 - $180 + shipping for a new one.

my bar (made by SPATS) was just flat there... its round the rest of the way across, and right above the intake plenum it goes flat... it clears by about a 1/4 inch, but it clears! came off someone's CA clip:) I think it was rtsol's clip...

You guys should just build your own. They are really easy if you have a few simple tools. Drill bits, 7/16 Rod ends(one left and one right thread), proper ID and OD tubing decently thick sidewalls, 7/16 tap(left and right thread) flat steel 1/8" thick, cut off wheel, and a welder or someone to weld and a torch. OH, and a can of Krylon BBQ paint(greatest thing ever produced by man kind!!!!!!!) Get creative guys, I know all yall are itching to do a little fabbing on your cars.:ylsuper
