strut bar & intake - tight fit

I've got a cheap no-name-off-ebay short ram air intake and a cheap-no-name-off-ebay front strut bar. The bar's really nice, but the intake's a POS.

Anyway, they two don't fit well together AT ALL. My opinion is that it's the fault of the short ram air intake, but also the simple fact that the intake port on the manifold faces up.

Anyway, does anyone recommend an intake that doesn't climb too hight up and get in the way of the strut bar?

Thanks...

You Could Try And Shave The Intake A Little Or The Only Another Option Is To Get A Brand Know Intake.

This is a well known issue. Do a search involving the words "strut bar" and "intake" then start reading.
