Which Strut Tower Brace Clears manifold/plenum covers
 

Just purchased a plenum cover for my 2005 V6. I'm now interested in purchasing a strut tower brace, does anyone have a manifold or plenum cover and a strut tower brace together? Which one do you have or recommend? Looking at Steeda, Ford Racing, Granatelli or BMR

Which one did you get? The single or double bar?

RE: Which Strut Tower Brace Clears manifold/plenum covers
 

the double one, i dont think the single fits

RE: Which Strut Tower Brace Clears manifold/plenum covers
 

did the double one fit correctly???

I have the V6 steeda strut tower brace. IMO it will not clear the plenum cover (see pic). Myabe if you put fat washers under the bolts it might lift it high enough to clear. It also leave an inprint on the hood underside material, no biggy. its a good addition.

I checked with several different sources after purchasing my plenum cover a few months ago. All the different companies I spoke to said that none of the stb's would fit with a plenum cover. My understanding was that on the v6 most of the stb's already sit at the point that they would leave the indentation in the hood liner so I wouldn't think there would be much room to raise it at all.
