Barn Find! Found my old early 2000's Strut Tower Bar, by Freedom Design in my garage. I took it off for the KLZE intake swap and did not put it back on because it would rub the intake. Now it has been restored, polished, modified and installed.
Replaced mounting hardware.
There is a small clearance issue. Since this bar was made for the 4 cylinder, it will make contact on the intake manifold of both the KLDE and KLZE long neck. I haven't tried any other intakes except for those two. This is an easy fix. I tried spacing it up, but it was to close to the hood and did not look good spaced. So I shaved off a little over 1/8 of an inch. The bar still feels strong and solid. I wanted this on more for the Fast & Furious vibe than for actual performance.
