Almost never. The front strut bar makes a hell of a difference..don't know if it's in my head or not.

MOST of the time, the factory strut bar is fine and you wont see big improvements going to an aftermarket one.

I cant find the dimensions to the OEM bar, but i wont give up!

additionally, your car naturally oversteers from the factory.
to get the car be more neutral; a larger rear sway bar would help a lot MORE than a strut bar could ever do.

then if you would like to even out the car even MORE, you could upgrade to a larger front sway bar. not to be confused for the strut bar.

Do the research and let me know. This may very well be in my head. I know the sway bar does a lot more. I would think the front racing bar would hold the wheels down a little better.

They use the same intake manifold...its should fit, check to see if the part numbers are the same for the bolts.

ok so the bolts won't be exactly the same...the si has these nice rounded bolts on top (as you can tell from a visual comparison)..but the im part numbers ( 17100-R40-A00) are the same so it should work...don't see why they wouldn't since same part number means same threading locations, etc.

sorry, no Pics underneath,
look at Joes Post No.27, the two screws are on a different place than at mine. At my cover they are on the outside on Joe´s car they are more on the inner side. Is this what you mean. Maybe there are two different (manifold??)parts
