I've got a Injen intake tube on my 400. I wonder if it would fit with this? I know my cheap eBay stb won't fit over it.

Always love a bit of tasty TRD car ****. Isn't the rear stiff enough that an upper rear stb will have a negligible effect?

There's also the Carbing stb for ~$300 that fits, but only with the washers. It also has a master cylinder stopper "to improve stopping feel".
When I first put it on the car felt a bit more solid going through corners. But now I've had it on for so long I dont even remember its there..

That pic reminds me that I did initially put it on with the plastic cover in place so it does fit with that but I opted to do away with it as I prefer the raw look,

Did you notice any improvements after you installed the strut tower bar?

Yes handling was improved when pushed hard through a turn pike on ramp at high speeds but around town it feels the same as it did before.

Nice that's got to be the best looking strut bar for this car because it looks like it means business. Nice RSP and I'm regretting not picking one up. When I bought mine there was a '97 RSP for the same price but I just been chasing the black on black for so long.

Thanks, I had a black on black 5 speed years ago and always wanted an RSP and I vowed to my self that if a rust free Florida one came up for sale that I would buy it so 2 years ago I got my chance!

It's amazing how many times I get random people on the street offering to buy it from me.

It's not a 400 but it clears large compressor housings as well, .

^^^ Jessy it looks like bw67.7mm fmw! Nice so we know it will clear over the GT42 also but depending on the manifold you are using.
