Ok I'm going to order an RL bar and see if it fits, if not, a Legend bar. Also going to get the sway bar meant for a Legend GS sedan.

P.I.T.A... still have to play with it more tomm, the bar is resting on a sensor at the back top of the engine and it rattles at low RPMS.. i will have to relocate it.. anyone tell me what that sensor is??? top middle right in the back... don't think u can see it in my picks..

a lifelong mechanic commented when i mentioned my interest in the secret weapon. he opined it would throw of the fuel-to-air ratio. (using more gas in the process). makes sense right? not to mention that if the headers and exhaust are not upgraded at the same time, it/the air actually leads to somewhat of a bottleneck on the way out. any thoughts? (for this reason he recommended to settle for a K and N)
also, Kamlung, whats that revolver looking thing on your battery?

^ The K&N would also throw it off because of more flow. It's nothing the ECU can't handle, and the added exhaust leaving through the stock system equals more torque.

i think the second pic gives a better angle because you can see the screws... if you look at the plate that the sensor is mounted onto, you will see 4 nuts and bolts... the thicker plate in front and the top two holes is stock OEM where the sensor bolted into... so if you can imagine the sensor bolted into that location, it would sit higher and on top of the metal plate above where i cut the notch out...
so what i did was cut a notch into the oem plate so that the sensor can be moved down... but if you look at the shape of the OEM plate, there is nothing to then bolt the sensor into because it is empty... so we cut a piece of sheet metal (and also a notch into this sheet metal) and screwed the sheet metal into the oem plate at the original top holes... what the sheet metal is doing is extending beyond the oem plate where it is empty so you have a place to screw the sensor into... so the bottom two bolts is the sensor screwed into the sheet metal...
i will take more pics this weekend of the back side of the sensor... it can help a bit more...
