I'm not sure if it will clear the v6, it actually sits higher than the V8.

Steeda is always high quality stuff, I don't know anyone with it, but you can't go wrong with thier parts.

Ya make sure you get one for the V6. I got one meant to clear a plenum cover but only BMR made onebut it was for the V8. Anyway I had to notch it to clear the intake & plenum cover. Worked out great. Also the strut tower brace helped a little with the thunking front end noise on my car.

My brother bought the Steeda tower brace. The quality is great, and it made a big difference in the stiffnes of the front end. My brother also bought the G-trac brace, with these two parts the front end dosn't seem to flexin tight turnsanymore.With all of this being said we did find some down side's to this combination of braces. First the front end is so stiff that the rear feels loose, and second the price that steeda is selling the tower brace seems a little pricey. In my opinion I would buy the BMR tower brace, it is only $100.00 last time I checked. Than buy the Steeda G-trac brace $59.99 for the price of the Steeda tower brace you can get two new toys instead of just the one, again this is only my opinion. Hope this helps.

Nice job! Looks like a prototype of the next Mustang product to hit the market, if you know what I mean....
