As far as I know, no one has tried it. Password:JDM actually makes a great front strut bar that is designed to work with their intake. The only problem I foresee is the PowerChamber knocking on the bottom of the tower bar, and if that isn't what happens, then you will not be able to close your hood because the bar will come in contact with it.

For the price and the quality you get, there are way better intake options out there

I have the PWJDM intake, but would not recommend it to anyone. Of course, I wouldn't recommend any sort of "strut" bar to anyone either. BTW, S2000's have shocks, not struts.

Mainly because it takes about 8 months of installation, uninstallation, reengineering, modification, duct taping, and bitching to get it installed right. Actually, I'm only 6 months into the process so far, but estimate that it will finally be right in a couple more months. Until then, I'll be listening to unpleasant rattly noises from the air filter chamber's lid.

However, from a performance standpoint, I don't think it would be possible to beat it, and if you consider how light weight it is, there may not be any match for it either.
