Will it fit with the plastic cover at the top part next to the windshield? Also, does it fit with the stock engine cover?

From the pictures and my discussion with the guys at RJ MFG it will fit the stock intake manifold and cover. Also for the rear mounts they are still looking at hardware. the current hardware which are Grade 10 bolts would require some small holes to be cut in the vented area to make sure everything latches properly. A drill bit or dremel should suffice...

Quick Update:

For those following this thread we were planning on having a fully powdercoated and ready to go production unit today. However our laser cutter is a little behind on schedule meaning it will have to wait until next week. Fear not we will post plenty of pictures and post a price next week.

To answer some questions we have already received:

1. Will this fit a stock plenum car?
A. Yes this will fit any plenum on the market.

2. Is it stronger than the factory unit?
A. Yes, the chromoly is much stronger than the factory unit and its significantly lighter.

3. Will there be a group buy?
A. At this time we are only offering a discount to those who already bought the gtr conversion. If you buy the conversion there is a SIGNIFICANT discount by bundling the strut tower bar.

4. What colors are available?
A. Any powder coat color is available. We will have a set of standard colors available at no additional cost. Special order colors will be available.

5. Can I get it in Titanium?
A. Well of course you can but be prepared for a $2k+ price tag.

That looks amazing! Totally getting one! Great price on the group buy too!

I would put those brackets underneath so they are not visible and cap the ends of the tubing so it looks better.

I understand that this is for function, but it should look good too,

I agree with caping the ends. However, the plate brackets are on both the top and bottom. It helps with rigidity...

I see. Maybe the welds for the top ones could be on the inderside for a cleaner look.

That's not possible given the space constraints... The only way to get the look your going for would be to weld tabs on the bars and screw down the plates and then you will have lost the structural rigidity to the part. The end caps I can see but the welds on the top will have to be there... You just can't get a tig welder in that tight of a space... Even free handing you wouldn't be able to do it.

RJ MFG 09-24-2016 10:28 AM

Bullitt is right... the top plates cannot be welded from below due to the distance between the tubes and the radius of those tubes. Now for those that want the end caps we can do that as an option but it would cost $50 to make the cap plates and weld them on. We can add them at that cost but it will need to be requested.
