Darryl, silly question for you-- did you need to take off your OEM Strut bar to install your intake? I only ask because it's too cold to go out and look at my OEM and it looks as though the Stillen Brace covers where you need to get at screws for the intake.
Just trying to plan my build

Re: New Stillen Strut Tower Brace Install (dangeris)
Lazy indeed. What about with this strut bar? Would you need to take this off to get to the intake? It looks like it from your pictures but it may just be the angle...dangeris wrote:LOL,..you lazy bastard..LOL to answer your question no, you don't need take off the OEM strut bar to install the intake.

It's just the angle. You don't need to take the strut bar off to get to the intake or to take it off.
