Nope, leave the strut bar on, it's not in the way at all. Install was easy as pie. Took about an hour and a half. One thing to note: The brackets that mount the intake pipes to the heat shield boxes go OUTSIDE the box. Also, refer to the instructions "exploded view" whenever you're wondering "hmm... is this where I should use the lock washers or the wavy washers?" You'll see.

Touring and sport/touring drivers note: Prepare to reset all our XM and FM presets, and any iPhone contacts you loaded. You'll have to reactivate your S mode too.

Engine sounds the same at idle and low throttle. From 1/3 to 1/2 throttle you get the high pitched (though quiet) whistle sound. at WOT you get a very throaty growl, and I love it. Much more V8 sounding, not that I really wanted that, but it's good. lol

Got out of a speeding ticket today. Cop got me going 59 in a 40 as he travelled the other direction. Flipped lights on and motioned to pull over as he drove by and turned around.

Thank alot man!! I will pay attention to those when I install them. Hopefully the weather will allow me to do that tomorrow.

Had to drive into work this morning (1am) for a planned downtime. It was super nice to be the only car out on the road! Heading back home at 2am the traffic was even lighter! Blasting the tunes and enjoying the hell outta what twistys I could find!
