STB clearance for AEM CAI
I know that the AEM CAI does not clear the Spoon/Comptech STB. So which STB does it clear? I'm really considering the AEM CAI but if it doesn't clear the nice metal bar that I want on the engine, I might have to reconsider a different CAI. Is the Comptech CAI out yet? Because if it clears the Comptech STB, it should also clear the Spoon one. Answers please...

Comptech is very tight too!
Just to be on the safe side, I had a 3mm spacer made for the STB.

I don't wanna buy something where both of them rub together because it's a tight. I've heard some ppl. say it fits but they rub when you flex the chassis, etc. Where'd you get the 3mm spacer socal? And if I don't have the spacers, isn't it pretty much touching each other, give or take 1 to 3 mm? Really wanna know for sure because I don't want the STB to saw a line on my CAI.

hmm my suggestion if it's really tight is to get a piece of cloth or something relatively soft, and put it between the CAI and the STB. You can make a small square piece, put it on the CAI first then lower the STB on it, nice and tight. That way it won't scratch, TA DA!!! awwwwwwww dayum

The Cusco Strut Bar clears!
There is a bout 3mm gap between the Intake and the Strut Bar...
Just to be sure of no rubbing...I stuck a piece of soft spongy double sided tape under the strut bar...
Happy to report, no problems here
