Default Strut Bar

Question I have a 2004 Honda S2000 with AEM cold air number 21-514p and am thinking of adding a strut bar. Anyone out there have the same cold air mod with strut bar if so what did you use. Already have test pipe and exhaust.

A strut bar is not needed on the S2K because they are extremely rigid but can be used for the bling factor, it also makes a great arm rest when working under the hood.

Invest your money on an ETD but do some research as to the benefits first to see if you want one.

S2000 doesn't have struts, hence use of strut tower brace is a misnomer. Plus as mentioned, doesn't provide any actual stiffening benefit.

The only person that actually addressed his question.
I have an AEM V2 with the Megan X-Brace strut bar. It gets close to touching the intake but it fits fine.
