Hey i need help pretty quickly. I searched and there were no answers. Dumb thread I know, so Ill delete it after I hopefully get my answer. Do I need to remove the factory front brace to install my fujita intakes? I know its recommended, but id like to leave it put if it isnt completely necessary. Thanks for the help.

 

as in the strut bar?

probably .. I took mine off a few weeks ago to install the lowering springs ..

mine had marks on the nuts to tighten it back up once the mounts were bolted up

 

not necessary. but intake tubes can be a mf beaaatch to put connect if you don't

 

i took my strut off thats it... well and the bumper frame. not the actual metal piece tho.

 

I only took off the small radiator support brace (nismo only piece) when I put my fujitas on. It's not that bad to do, but it's still a PITA, strut bar or not.

 

I have the same intake you don't need to remove the front brace or anything it is just a pain in the butt to install

 

It's probably easier with it off and not difficult to put it back sooooooo...

 

thanks guys. throwing these on tonight. hopefully it sounds sick with my skunk2 true-dual. I think I'm the only person with that exhaust on an HR so hopefully it sounds unique. i'm planning on a tune in the near future after HFC's so im praying i dont lose too much power from these intakes just yet.

 

just a FYI for anyone considering these intakes. I ordered them from everythingg35 and they were like 115$ or something. I couldnt pass the deal up!
