Introducing the New RJ MFG Strut Tower Brace!

RJ MFG · 10-27-2016, 10:05 AM

We took user feed back and are now incorporating hand cut plugs for the bar ends. This will maintain a clean look for all strut brace owners.

Any pictures with the plugs installed?

I saw them they are black plastic slip fit plugs. Looks really clean!

Bumping this old *** thread. Has anyone used this with a stock intake manifold and more importantly stock Engine cover? I ordered this like late last year and actually just now was able to try to install it.. It seems the front half of the stock engine cover will not work with this without hacking it up like crazy..

Isn't this supposed to be used for GTR manifold conversion?

In addition to the VQ specific manifolds we have designed this unit to also clear the GTR conversion with a stock GTR manifold. We will be testing the Greddy GTR manifold in the coming weeks since this is the next affordable GTR manifold. So as of right now there should be no limitations on manifolds with this strut brace.

OEM manifold should fit.. just apparently not with the OEM engine cover which is kind of stupid...

You're right, I ran into the same issue when fitting mine and it will not fit with the OEM cover.

This would seem to indicate that it's supposed to fit with the OEM engine cover. It sounds like it does not.

But I think cooltoy is right ... the brace was designed to work with the GTR manifold conversion.
