Question Plenum Cover/Strut Brace??

Has anyone figured out how to integrate a Plenum Cover with a strut brace. I have spoke with other who have had this issue and there just does not seem to be enough clearance for the Plenum Cover. I have the Steeda Double Bar Brace.
Any feed back or photos would be greatly appreciated.

Only certain strut bars will work with plenum covers. Here is one that WILL

S197 Double Barrel Strut Brace

I dont think yours will work.

i bought a strut brace that wouldnt even clear the intake. i tried it on both our cars. the company was great to send me another one to try and i got it today, same thing. so now i`m gonna return that one get the steeda bar and try that. i dont have a cover. the sales add shows the bar on a v6 in the customer pics. i`ll be happy to get one that just clears the intake manifold

Default Roush did..

When I had a mwg Plenum cover I had a Roush brace, but it was adjustable, I slightly bent it a little more and adjusted it out, it fit fine, with my Xcharger I actually had to bend it back.
