I have a Cusco CF one that fits over top of the K&N pipe. There is a very slight contact.

 

Here is are pictures of that $30 ebay one; it is one great leaning tool, and "engine bling" . It also did not cost me, and arm and a leg. Like my buddy above said "you cannot tell unless your stare at it closely for about 5 mins" I also would wished I have gotten an aluminum one, as this one seems to kinda blend in with the engine bay a little to much. In a way seems kinda stock looking haha as a poor choice of words I just choosed.

 

Sorry off topic question, but I notice that your silicone connector that goes from the K&N Intake is black. I thought they were orange. Which color comes with it? I was hoping that I wouldn't get orange, bleh. Yellow might be OK with my car though.

 

^Which connector are you talking about? I don't know of any orange anything in my engine bay...

 

All my connecting hoses were black on mine FYI.

 

Wow im buying an ebay strut bar for sure. It will be a good $20 spent. They are all the same anyway or such an insignificant diff that no one would ever notice.

 

^ what he said

 

Got a Spoon strut bar from a person on the boards, cannot remember what I paid. FIPK from ebay $225 delivered.

 

The older FIPK had an orange coupler. I have said older FIPK. I contacted K&N and they mailed me out the new black/grey one free of charge

 

noob question. why wouldn't a spoon or pwjdm strut not outperform one from ebay?
