Well I finally was persuaded to get a ractive strut bar. However I am unsure how to install it. On the left strut tower (from sitting in drivers seat) there is an aluminum pipe (see photo) I assume that the strut bar has to be installed below this, how do I move this pipe? Do I disconnect the pipe? What is the pipe for?

i'm pretty sure, but could be wrong, that, that is your a/c line. i don't think that you should need to move it all, but i could be wrong.
good luck, tell me how it goes because i might a strut bar too

 

You don't have to disconnect it. I myself just lifted it up a bit and the strut bar fit perfectly. Give that a try before you remove it.

 

Cool that was pretty simple...except figuring out which way is up... I have a hunch this is upside down...

Hey thanks for all the help...I found a picture of an installed ractive strut bar and after thinking about it a bit i decided I did actually have it on correctly. For those wondering, after a bit of filing, i finally got the bar installed. It does make a notable difference...Thanks for all the help!

 

So can somebody post a pic of how to the Ractive strut bar looks like. I'm interested in getting one soon, but a pic would help, not to mention how it's suppose to look like when i try and install it myself. Thnx.

 

Hey here are the pics of my Ractive Strut bar installed. If you have any further questions just ask!

 

Looks awesome! What's next ?

 

damn....looks good...

.i wish i would have never bought that peice of **** bomz racing--it didn't even fit---pissed me off

 

Thanks...Next? uhhh i'm not too sure? But there's quite a lot of room for improvement all i have is that strut bar and a bottomless airbox with k&n filter...any ideas anyone?

 

whered u get the ractive strut bar and how much

 

mine fits just fine, you gotta sorta hit the mounting plates with a rubber mallet to get them on the strut towers, but mine fits on perfect now.

 

Got mine from NOPI, it was about 45 ish?
