Yeah the cusco bar that routes near the firewall, havent seen any on ebay lately. I lost the bidding one by 50 cents it went for like 125

you could get a triangulated strut tower brace...

OR

Get a cefiro crossover pipe like I did. Of course you need to either get rid of the BOV entirely or get an aftermarket one...

Or get an aftermarket intake manifold so the pipes dont go over the top. Then almost any strut brace should fit.
