I didn't even need the spacers for the strut bar with my AAM plenum spacer. The stock strut bar has a **** load of adjustability and a few turns later I had 1/4 inch of clearance.

"However I did have to remove the two rubber inserts on the hood to clear the strut bar when I close the hood. "

You both have 2004's so all dimensions/clearances on the car are the same SO did you have to remove the inserts like lunartick13 did?

General question to anyone who is reading this:
Any opinions on the AAM plenum spacer vs the Crawford Plenum?

Thanks

I guess you can tell that I have done Zero mods to my car (beyond replacing the crappy audio system) so I am carefully moving forward on mods.
Plus, my 2005 only has 4500 miles on it.


I really like the looks of your engine bay.
Where did you get the Polished Upper Plenum as well as the pipe for the air cleaner?

Thanks

Keep in mind these don't work on 2005's because there is just about no space available to raise the plenum; go look.

Thanks, I too am very pleased with the way it turned out. I bought the polished UTR tube at Performance Nissan (www.perfnissan.com) and the upper plantum that is the orininal I had it polished at the local Harley Plating place I also had the inside of the plantum polished for faster air velocity...

The guy at the polishing shop charged me 125.00. The worst part was the wait, I got it back 6 weeks later ( had this done during Witer) and my baby sits up on blocks during Winter..
