Someone told me I couldn't do it without the bar being off, and wanted to prove a point... I should have removed it, but it really wasn't a big deal with it on - You just need to take more time and care.
Breather tubes I ordered as soon as I herd Z1 offered them. The first time I ever looked under the hood of a 370 and saw the stock tubes, I just thought they were ugly - really wanted them gone.

Hello Gawl,
Great car, great start on your build man!
Just wanted to give you a heads up, the Stillen Gen 2 takes away 10+hp from your power. I purchased and ran this intake for close to 2 years. When I finally Dynotuned my car, the technician notes the power loss. We removed the Gen2 and installed the OEM intake. To our dismay 10+ horsepower right back where it was supposed to be. I highly recommend switching to gen3 or a CAI like AEM. This particular model absorbs heat from the engine bay, causing the intakes to choke the engine of much needed cool air.
Just a suggestion, all the best!!
