Check out this strut bar...

CLICK ME!!!
There are pics of the bar installed on a 7th gen with AEM CAI. However, the pics look kinda fuzy and low quality, which adds to my distrust of the seller. The strut bar looks JUST like the generic ones that won't fit with the AEM CAI. It just looks strange. The bar seems to be going in a straight line between the 2 strut tower braces, and the intake seems to fall in place right behind the bar, but that would be impossible as the "straight line" I menttioned would take the bar right over the throttle right?

That bar looks like the same one I have. I picked it up at the local shop for $60. I don't remember the brand on it, but it's definitely not a rare item. Take a look at Allman's ride because he has the same bar, or if you need pics, I have some of my engine bay from the side. The bar does go over part of the throttle body. I'd watch this guy.....

Looks photochopped. I wouldn't buy it.

In this case, I would say better safe than sorry. We all know that if you have a CAI, buy the Neuspeed or DC Sports, which are both reputable companies. If you find one of these, then go for it. Otherwise, I would steer way clear of this. Once burned, twice shy.

No, the bar will clear the intake if the bar isn't more than about an inch and a half wide. I had a noname bar and a AEM SRI on and cleared by about 1/2". That was on an EX.
