do you have pics, or was it just a matter of bending it a bit? It's a shame as it's a nice brace but god damn was it noisy.

it does rub on the covers, have had an idea to move brace back slightly so it wont rub anymore. to be honest tho it doesnt make any noise at all, car vibrates enough i dont notice it lol

Mine was shocking - perhaps because of the solid engine mounts. I tried everything I could think of including raising it up on washers a little all to no avail. Eventually I just sacked it off and bought a roll cage  Best solution!

The breather filter setup on this... What did you replace the standard hose with like the hard plastic one from by the inlet or wherever?

Hi dude it's not a wrap it's real carbon Fibre I

Into production and he bought a prototype from streamline and he then sold it to me .

I need to post mine up but I bet it'll be the most ghetto on here. Silicone sealant on the induction kit and everything!
