I currently have a 96 cx hatch with a stock motor I know still in school, waiting for a new engine but anyways I bought a vibrant intake a couple of weeks ago but because of the way it sits, so high up I can't fit my new dc strut bar over top of it because it keeps hitting the pipe , so my question is what intake can I get that will bend properly to fit my strut bar over it

pick up another intake manifold, one from an older d series or a Y8, itll give more top end power and sit lower, and your intake will fit properly. it goes on with little modification and u can use your original throttle body, injectors, fuel rail, etc...

OR you can get another strut bar

yeah simple solution would be to get a new strut bar and cheaper too! If the new one rubs a bit just throw some sticky foam padding so you dont get an annoying rattle.

why not dent the intake pipe to fit the strut bar over it??
the intake wont make a difference anyways ahhaha

thats true, an intake on a stock cx will do nothing, the manifold needs to be swapped too. pick up a header for the si, it'll flow loads better and get rid of the cat. makes an interesting ricey crackle noise, hehe, actually makes a difference tho. best mod for a stock cx is to swap in the si tranny.

yea..i hear this guy^^

or ditch the cx motor.its like 92 hp or something..and swap in an si motor, with si trans and ecu..then bult on that..turboed is also fun
