Crawford Plenum
I have held off on this due to the cover not fitting. This is great news, can you explain how it fits? Does Crawford make it to fit or did you modify it?
Thanks for the info.

I thought it was posted earlier that because of the way the Plenum is welded there's no way the STB would fit.
Did you just cut off part of the Lawnmower cover to make it fit?
Looks good though.

Cool for those of you who have to have the cover. I bet you could carve around the area that our STB requires to make his modified cover fit with the bar.
For those still holding out we are almost at the 100 unit mark. Wait time is in the 2-3 week time frame. Still waiting on cores. Nissan is out . . . .apparently someone in TN has bought them all.

weight difference
Just a question that comes to mind:
The Craword plenum is clearly larger than the stock, but what is the weight difference betwwen the two? Are you adding 30-40 pounds to the car, or are they very similar in weight? Just wondering if anyone has actually compared the weights.

would it be possible to get the crawford plenum and keep the stock strut bar? I know itll take alot of work but couldnt we shave short the motor mounts, lower the engine enough to clear the sb? just a thought...

So much work. I would not want to do that! You are talking pull the engine just to get the stock bar to fit? Do you have a lot of free time on your hands or something? If you want the bar that badly, either do not get the crawford plenum or buy their STB.

I was just sayin that could be an alternative. if you ever had to get your engine pulled out you can do some shaving while you are able to. and no I dont have enough time just do it for the hell of it. but if you ever did shave the mounts you can always go for an aftermarket strut bar thats not crawford. and no I am not saying the crawford bar is bad either.

The crawford STB seems to be able to fit because it has an adapter that makes it sit a few inches forward in front of the crawford plenum. Do you guys think it's possible to simply make a similar adapter for the stock STB and make it sit a few inches forward. I know the stock STB comes up higher... but could it still fit?
