DC Strut bar

[fliegendaffe]

That link takes you to the one they specify for the 4cyl (not that there is any difference).

But you'd better just make sure to order this one:

Dave, the first photo you posted is of a Diamante intake manifold. The one RAZ posted is a GTS manifold. DC Sports specifically lists the STB as for the GS/RS only, so it may have fitment issues. Personally, I think it'll work.

The old straight RRE strut bar fit both V6 and I4. Infact I think Reelax was the tester for it. I don't have any doubt the DC bar fits. The standard 6G72 intake plenum comes down a lot farther than the GTS or Diamante plenums.

Oh snap...

Not that one. I read (fits all). The one which you posted is correct.

Im 100% sure it will fit dude, a bunch a guys at Club3G have them both models. Just get it dude. Worst case you pack it up and re sell it.

Well your intake plenum is stock, isn't it? That's what we're talking about here.

Also, they are not shapped like that, they go straight across.

The air intake doesn't matter. Infact I've never seen fitment issues with any STB on our cars. Like I said

[WarmAndSCSI]

From that picture, the issue I see is the negative battery terminal, more so than the plenum. People have reported problems with the DC Sports STB and the stock battery.

all you did was remove the air box and added an intake pipe your plenum is the silver thing that it connects to with the tubes above the valve cover...if you installed the intake whay didnt you remove the rest of the stock intake though?

Gladiator, who has a v6, has tried to fit my DC sports strutbar on his car and I remember only being able to put 1 side in. There is a sensor on top of the intake plenum that is keeping the bar from being able to fit properly. I didnt try to see if using washers might make the bar fit, but it would have to be something like 3 washers. 1 washer would not have cut it

I know mine is a 4cyl but my battery is in the same spot and when I had mine it did not touch it, far from it. The only thing I did not like was the fact that it sat right above my oil dip stick and made it impossible to check my oil without removing it. I would get the stock 3G bar and is the best unless you want to spend 300 like I did for a Carbin. I think the rest or swiveled are a waste as far as effectiveness.

This is good to know, it's probably the MDP sensor in the way.
