Will an aftermarket strut tower brace clear my JLT ram air intake? :dontknow:

the description says it clears the stock intake, just need to make sure it will fit over the JLT.

Thanks
Raul.

my intake pipe rubs against my strut tower and valve cover. (i have tall BBK valve covers)

If you have stock vlave covers i would say that you should be fine, because you can just manipulate the pipe lower closer to the valve covers and away from the strut tower if need be.

i would say no...ive seen the JLT intake and it seems like it would be way too think to fit under the strut tower brace. never tried it tho.

i think the cobras have an issue with the JLT and a STB if i remember correctly, a clearance issue

I don't have a JLT intake tube, but do have a densecharger with a Steeda STB and with the upbend it has gives more room for an intake tube. With the stock NPI lower and/or upper intake, the fit is no problem. With the trick flow plenum (raises height) and PI intake, I had to buy an adapter from the local auto store for it to fit without hitting against the STB. Hope these pics help.

With the stock plenum

Here it is before I got the new adapter and hopefully you can see the bulky elbow connection and the how the STB leaves room for clearance.

Here it is after the new adapter.
