im guessing you have an AEM intake? which strut bar did you get? the only strut bars that will clear the AEM intake are DC and neuspeed

btw.. i have an AEM sri with neuspeed strut bar..

what Weaponx12o said is correct.
but i have heard that you can bend some cheap strut bars and make them clear. Not sure if it applies to your application, but check it out.

I would not bend a strut bar... If you can bend it that easly I wouldn't even bother installing it. I didnt do mine yet.. so anyone know is the Skunk 2 bar will fit over a Injen RD CAI?

dont bend the strut bar, it might weaken it. i think all strut bars clear the injen intake, but im not sure.

injen sri will work with any strut bars out there because it has flat top unlike aem intakes
