Default shock tower brace

What is the brace that goes from shock tower to shock tower in the engine bay? I think that they are called shock tower braces... Can anyone tell me where to buy them at?

strut tower brace, not shock, but most would understand what you mean by saying that.

a good place is blue oval industires, im ordering mine from there in chrome for 80$ not a bad deal.

if you dont already have em, get their subframe connectors too for the extra 40$.

Ya I knew it was something tower brace lol, my bad. I'll check out blue oval industries. The strut tower brace was a suggestion from a friend of my dad's that said that he stuck those in his stang and they made a world of difference with handling and body roll. Thanks for the help.

Well my CAI is actually my air silencer removed, I, personally, think that it flows more than a CAI. So if I have the stock intake tubing I won't have to worry about it riiight?

get the C&L 76mm MAF Kit so you can get rid of the 55mm MAF and get rid of the stock tube the wrickles in the tube messup the smoothness of the air flow the smoother the flow the better thats why you polish heads and intakes

I have a job coming up next week and i'm going to be making any where from 325-500 bucks, but I think that 350 will cover the MAF, TB, EGR spacer, but i do plan on getting the C&L kit with the power pipe.
