im trying to avoid getting the comptech strut bar.
did a search and couldnt find anything on this.
will a cusco bar fit the comptech CAI?

 

anyone?

 

Unfortunately, the Comptech is the only one that will fit with the intake without modifying the airbox lid. There are some members on this site, their names escape me, that have fitted the Cusco bar by trimming the lid. If that's not your bag, you might want to just go with the Comptech bar. That's what I did.

 

I have the Cusco CF bar with my Comptech Intake. I barely had to do any trimming and is unoticable.


I can take some pics if needed.

 

comptech is the only one that will fit without rubbing.... most of the others will touch the top of the comptech intake...

 

In regards to the Cusco bar, just to clarify...it's not actually the lid you have to trim...it's the upper backside of the airbox itself which needs to be trimmed...

Do a search for a post by "Dut"...I think it was titled "Cusco CF Strut Bar and Comptech Intake", or something like that...it'll have pics of everything fitting just nicely...

 

I went outside to take a couple of pics. As you can see, only a very small portion of the abs box has to be cut. It took 10 min with the dremel.






And a bling shot.

 

Fumanchu, that looks like a nice install. I was still a noob when I put my goodies on, but from what I read there was more modification necessary than that to fit any other strut brace to the Comptech intake. I wish I would've known that back then, I probably would've fitted the Cusco instead!

 

i actually got a aem v2 now so I would be willing to trade my comptech ti for another brand if someone is interested. Don't say DC sports. LOL

 

i just bought a Comptech Strut bar because I am in the same position (Comptech SC), BUT really like the look of that CF Cusco Bar. Can someone point me to where I can get an identical one?
