Ok, good to hear, great price as well... didn't realize that, and glad you passed on that information before I purchased with my aftermarket CAI.

I have cold air inductions, but I am getting ready to purchase their strut tower brace... wanted to know the difference before I made the purchase.. obviously I will take the new one posted in this thread, as it will not install with my CAI.

Unfortunately no. We are still kicking around the idea of making a Maggie-specific brace but it is still way down on the list...

This is truly a structural member, triangulating multiple points of the strut towers. The total weight of the brace is 14 lbs.
