Hey guys, I just ordered a skunk2 racing plenum spacer through my work and was reading up on it a little more and it says that it doesn't work with the factory strut bar. I was wondering whether this is just them being over concerned and just saying that. Has any one had any experiance with this plenum spacer? Thanks guys

 

Depending on the thickness it may or may not work.

 

like davidv said i think the biggest you can get is 5/8 if you ordered a 1/2 it def. will not fit..

 

i have the thicker of the two...5/8 i believe and yea no oem strut bar...i got a aps one now...there are others also that will work but u can drive without a strut bar...just wont handle quite as well...

 

well there was only one thickness to order from. Do you have a strut bar on there now with your skunk2 spacer. i wanted to keep the factory strut bar. and to those who have used them, do you feel a pretty good gain from it? thanks
guys

 

should have researched it prior to purchasing. you may be able to use spacers on your strut tower bar to lift it a little without hitting your hood. you'll have to play around.

 

i have the 5/8 plenum on my 03 and yes you do have to remove oem strut bar. I am now using a crawford strutbar.

 

I also have purchased a Skunk2 spacer without enough investigation. The Crawford strutbar will clear the Skunk2 spacer and the hood?

 

Skunk spacers are notorious for leaking. I'd say the strut bar is the least of your worries.

 

Yes it will, here are some pics that show the strutbar. Note that the sk2 spacer are not in these pics but you get the idea:






BTW: These are not my pics, just some i found.
I must admit that the 1st ones that came out did, but i have a 2nd gen one (one with the sealant already there). I just check it every now and then to be on the safe side.

 

yer, its the second version i bought, got it through my work at a good price. its 5/8 and has the new rubber sealant all the way around. So planning on getting that installed this weekend. i have pictures of it and the rest of the stuff i have done, just havent put them up yet, i will put them up this weekend and see how it goes, thanks for the feedback guys

 

Thanks, Killerbee. Is Crawford the only one that you know of?

 

Your welcome. The Stillen bar and also the APS are in front of plenum design as well and will work.
