Finally Titanium Strut Bar and AEM intake for 6 speed - pics

The bar is lot stronger than OEM, but the Neuspeed tie bar won't fit. And the AEM intakes is new for 6 speed (21-509).

Maybe after a few minutes with my mini-grinder I can get them both to fit.

Looks cool, but...

Why does the bracket on the tie bar hang off the edge of the body metal. It would look more 'for this car' if is was machined to match the edges.

Just a minor issue though.

Slimey - On the box of the bar it says for CL, TL and 00-03 Accord. That's why.

Collective - The car is stiffer than before, cornering and body roll improved. The only complain I have is there is no brackets for hoses and wire attachments on the driver side. I have to use zip tie to wrap everything up.

So do those brackets connecting to the firewall bolt onto anything? If so, was it hard to do?

There are no brackets on the bar. So I need to tie them up myself.

your stock bar bolts to the firewall in the same place. its a direct replacement. There are two covers near the windshield wipers that just pop out. the bolts are under there.

I believe there is only one color.

I bought it from Dean, good price compared what Comptech is offering.

So what you are saying is that this piece shown by your picture does not bolt onto anything?? does it just rest next to the firewall? If so, how would that help in handling?? Sorry, I'm just getting a little confused... I thought that it actually bolts onto something.

It bolts to the firewall. It has 2 screws under the water-drainage thing.

What I tie up are the hoses and wire attachments.

Because I ordered headers, intake, springs, and strut bar all together from Dean, I don't remember what's the price for each. I think it's under $350.00 shipped.

I believe you can PM Dean : deansbluesi
Or email him: deansbluesi@yahoo.com
A nice guy to deal with.
