Neuspeed Strut Bar

Hi, wanna know if the front upper Neuspeed Strut bar will block the access/removal of the stock airbox cover for K&N drop in air filter during maintenance cleaning.

Cheers

It didn't block mine. All I did was losen it up and move it about 0.25" towards the front of the car, even though on the instructions it says you have to remove it.

I didn't even loosen mine, I just bent the bracket forward a bit.

Dude, it seems like I can't even install it on my 7thgen Civic ES Sedan. Look at the attached pics. What's that darn pipe running over the airbox doing there ? Bad engineering on Honda's part ? Anyone can help here ???

Sorry, I dont know how to solve that 1. There was another member on here with a right hand drive Civic that had the same problem. I dont know how you can get by that.

MM... when I said that, I meant it in terms of some minor things had to be moved to modified. It's not exactly going to slap right in. But I'm sure we all know that now.
