Default Strut braces that work with a Comptech intake?

I just installed my Comptech intake today, and I had a Cusco carbon fiber wrapped strut brace that no longer fits. I don't want to cut the air box just to make the strut brace fit if I can just buy a better strut brace.

Does anyone know if the Carbing front upper bar fit? I really like the fact that it's a solid welded bar with no hinges.

If that doesn't fit, does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you want to sell that offending Cusco strut bar?

Thats what I have and it still does not have the space to clear the intake of both the 1st gen aem cold air intake system and my current comptech supercharger kit. The person who owned it prior to me took the work of moding out for me and cut a small 1/2 moon not even a 1/2 of inch for the clearance on whatever setup he had. I think the newer comptech will work.

Vanishing Point,

If I do, how does $50 sound? I should know more on what I plan on doing by tomorrow. PM me if you're interested.

I believe the S2X 4-point strut brace fits. There's a picture of it in the sponsor for sale section somewhere...

The CTSC has a flat spot on the aftercooler where it meets the throttle body so the strut bar clears it. This strut bar cleasred my AEM V2 intake no problem either.
