dose the JIC strut bar rub the hood or engine cover? do you feel significant improvement with front and back strut bars?

no rubbing on the engine cover. about significant improvement, I think it improved handling a bit when turning on my opinion but i heard sways bars are more ideal though.

but overall i'm happy with it. I believe it supported the rigidity of the chassis especially when in turns. I got the strut bars to support my suspension since i lowered it, but others suggested i should have invested on sways instead.

yeah, the intake was one of the first mods i put. In my opinion it improves a lot especially on acceleration. louder? it gives a good sound where you can hear your engine yell, especially on high rpms. 2nd gear to 3rd gear is the best part. and mine is just an aem, what more better brands. anyway i encourage to get anyone to get an intake, there was the time that i had to put my stock intake back to troubleshoot the CEL and when i went back to stock the next day i had to put the intake back and get a heat shield. never again stock intake for me.
