Default kinetix v+ plenum question...

hey guys i'm going to buy the kinetix v+ plenum and i noticed it says it will work with the stock sway bar. how tight of a fit is it? i'm also thinking about getting the motordyne spacer and highly doubt the sway bar will fit with both is why i ask. any suggestions on a replacement?

All that you need is a brace that fits in front of the motor rather than over the top.

I dont think you have any room ,as it is right now my strut is rubbing .
I just installed a V-4 that I got from a member last night without instruction's no leak's insall was fairly smooth(just wish I had smaller hands to work under the TB) but when I tried to put the engine cover back on it did not fit like I thought it would.Can someone with pic's post some close ups of the cover?

there is no benefit to be had by getting a whole new upper plenum PLUS a spacer. increasing the plenum volume too much will reduce throttle response without increasing horsepower.

if you had searched, you would know whether the motordyne 5/16" spacer fits with the strut bar.

First off, its the strut tower bar, not sway bar that is a clearance issue. Both the Kinetix plenum and Motordyne spacer kits come with spacers to put under the tower bar so everything clears.
