Rep Power: 0 any strut bar will work with any intake EXCEPT aem and knockoffs that are made like aem. if you go with aem intake use either the neuspeed strut or dc strut. all other intakes use an elbow that will not interfere with any strut bars. if youre looking for a strut bar i have a polished tenzo strut im selling for $50, got pics if youre interested... hope that helps

Rep Power: 0 if you dont want to worry about the strut bar hitting the intake, i suggest getting an injen CAI. if i were you, id try to get a mugen strut bar. i'd get one myself but unfortunately i have a aem SRI and it wont clear. i have a neuspeed strutbar, and those are good also.

Ractive strut bars suck. i would get something stronger like the mugen or neuspeed. All short rams should work with any strut bar. If you want a good setup, get the Injen short ram, but then get the CAI extension. See the short ram part will clear the bar, but the extension will make it a CAI.

Rep Power: 0 DO NOT BUY THE RACTIVE STRUT BAR!!! they dont fit our cars, ive read several posts from members of the site who ordered and it doesnt fit, it was made for the previous gen civics.
