But how many RWHP will it add?

I was looking at one earlier today on http://www.steeda.com
they had one similar to this one but i don't know if they say it's chrome or not. It is adjustable and is $319.95
They also have a steel non-adjustable that looks easy to install for only $159.95
Neither is flat
Will your new product have some sort of cap for the 2 ends?

Since it's inttended to stiffen the car it should improve handling but the 05 chassis is already so much stiffee than previous years it's difficult to say how much of improvement it would make.

BTW, can you say "stiffee" on this Forum???

Depends if your asking how much american horsepower or import. It would be 0 for a mustang but 30-45 for a civic.

Go figure. I will be in VA next weekend, but without my vehicle
I have a Steeda one now that is a single bar non adjustable type. It fits fine, but pushes in to the hood insulation. And after a few hours of hard driving, gets good and warm. Warm enough in fact that it has a little bit of hood insulation stuck to it.

Really nice looking product! [sm=drooldude.gif]
I would be VERY interested in a red one for my Redfire GT..if you see them in person hawgman please let us know what you think.
Pics of it installed on a GT would be nice as well..I just installed a plenum cover and would like to know if it will fit over it?
I figure the plenum cover will hold me over until my Saleen SC next year.
