kyle,

I can tell you that RMM is working on one as we speak. it should be out within the next couple of months. Aslo, they are working on an intake for the same car.

as of now i believe there isnt one that fits unless you remove the engine cover. like kodai said, a couple of months rmm should have one. just dont know about the quality of rmm.

IMO, I prefer TRD's look over RMM's. (not really into chrome)

i heard trd stb is much beefier than the rmm one, so you might look into just removing the engine cover and installing the stb, but your prob thinking, the cover looks good so you dont want to remove it, correct?

You 430 guys can check out Cusco. Last time I checked, they have like 8 STBs for 161 Aristos. Maybe one will fit.

The UGO's ALMOST fit...but not quite...

As for RMM...hmmm, dunno, don't really like their "quality"...I wouldn't do RMM's STB's...but who knows, maybe their new one will be better...
