[QUOTE="Magic, post: 740398, member: 9430"] Just to update this: MY INTAKE setup: 93 Cobra upper (and lower), with a MAC 70mm Throttle Body, modified to fit 86-88 speed density Inlet tube, modified to fit stock air box with K&N air filter. We all know by now that of course the stock Mustang GT strut brace doesnt work with any aftermarket intake manifold on our 94/95 5.0s. However, the Maximum Motorsports STB, did NOT work for me either! There were a couple of issues. The MAIN issue was there is no room between the STB bar and the Throttle body (93 Cobra Upper, remember this upper intake has the EGR spacer built in), as the throttle body is now pushed further out, so no room for the inlet tube. The second issue (if I remember right) with the MM STB was, since I am also using 5L Foxbody aluminum valve covers, the front bar of the STB was right over the oil fill hole. MY SOLUTION: I ended up buying a used FRPP strut tower brace. Clearance between the oil fill tube is tight but there is enough room to remove the oil fill cap and put a funnel there to fill oil. It also clears the fox TB setup, only having to modify the inlet tube slightly (86-88 Foxbody 5.0L speed density inlet tube). [/QUOTE]
