With mine I can't really tell much difference at all but then I don't drive my car hard but I think it's better to have it than not.

ooo clean engine bays....oh yea the strut bars...
IMO i would have gone with something with less of a bend and more of a 1-piece unit for more rigidity.

I can't think of a worse design than this one! First of all, why the bend? the bend puts all the stress on where the 2 sides meet and this is got to be very weak. Also, imagine when you drive your car hard enough to flex the weak bar, which way is it gonna flex vvvvvvv it's a no no no........

^^^I think the bend is to clear the intake manifold. At least thats what it looks like.

Your absolutly right OneJay, the bend is there to clear the intake.
