I started this thread because there are some mixed reviews on this forum about what strut bars work with CAI's like Fujita, AEM, and Injen. I, for example, read on here that my Fujita would work with my Cusco strut bar and found otherwise today. So, those who have had success running strut bars with tube style CAI's, please post up which strut bar you're using, any rubbing/clearance issues, and any pics you may have. I'll have to sell my Cusco strut bar now in favor of one that will work with the Fujita so I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's input

 

Any sort of intake pipe coming from the throttle body is going to be close. I was using an AEM knockoff (Otto-R) and it work well but rubbed. After discovering this I put some reflective bubble wrap around the intake tube to keep it from making metal on metal contact.

Point is, don't give up even if you will have rubbing issues. Find something to make it work.

 

Well, my problem wasn't a rubbing issue, it was that the pipe would line up straight with the throttle body with the strut bar on. It had to be angled down some and I won't sacrifice intake fitment for it. I might take another look at the Cusco bar tomorrow or something but I really don't see it could work with this intake
