Default Just installed Greddy/Trust stur bar

So I traded my stock suspension for this Strut bar from S142jz. I just installed it but looks like its touching the engine and intake tube. Will this be a issue?

Check pics:

Looks good, but ya, that would worry me with the engine moving while driving...Especially if you went WOT.

Yea, take it off and sell it to me .JK. No, you wont have any issues. It might rub on the intake manifold and will scuff up some of the aluminum, but other than that youre good to go.
