Default APS Plenum underside pics with strut bar

New pics of the underside of the Tallboy plenum have been released as well as the new strutbar design

Thought those interested would like to know. Input airpowersystems for the x's

go to APS's website to see the plenum and strut bar

It's a total crawford rip off - the EXACT same design except maybe a little more refined looking?

Just wondering why the added a slight bend to the bar, if it is planned to be installed in front of the plenum. Is this done for asthetic reasons, or so that Crawford wont sue them. Kidding folks!

I hope it doesn't require that bend, I was going to buy the Crawford bar since it's half the price.

You have to put airpowersystems where the X's are since the link is blocked. Really, they banned user APS, but blocking the link is kind of overkill.

while the stuff might be the same in function as the crawford.... APS isnt stupid, they know that people will be buying these for the next 10-15 years for this car... and while crawford is probably ahead of them by 500 sold or whatever they have sold by now... in 5 years i wonder who will have sold more?

My ST is going to be coming in very soon. I might be willing to part with my APS Plenum if anybody is interested.

Send me a PM

It looks a little more slanted towards teh front than teh crawford. The Crawford has a more raised front end so it's almost completely flat on the front... It (APS TB) looks like the stock plenum raised with the angle slightly retained.

Why don't you want it, already have a Crawford or something?
