Default Will JIC Magic strut bar or other brand work w/ the TN kit?

My Cusco strut bar did not fit & I had to revert back to the OEM strut bar. Does anyone have the JIC Magic strut bar or any other brand w/ the single TN kit? If yes, please post pics.
Thanks,
Jeff

Some member on here sqeezed the Crawford STB to work with his TN kit. I have both and I wouldnt put that STB on with this kit although I guess it can be done, it would be pushing on the intake pipe too much, and would wear through over time on both the bar and top of the nice pipe. I think the Stillen STB may work with our kits...

I have the JIC strut bar installed, but I also have a 5/16" plenum spacer and spacers under the strut. Right now, it just barely touches the flange on the pipe with the MAF, and rubbed off a little of the strut bar cf wrap. It is a very tight squeeze. It also touches my hood slightly so I have some weather stripping on the underside of the hood to protect it.

I've been thinking of buying some washers to space it out more precisely in an attempt to alleviate some of the rubbing on the hood. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to it.

Do you have picture you could post? My Cusco strut bar would not clear the square flange that connects the 2 black chromed tubes. I just want to see how much clearance the JIC provides. Did you have to twist & adjust the tubes to get them to the right angle so that it clears?
Thanks,
Jeff
