Hello all, Just looking into getting a strut tower brace for the 89 lx I recently purchased which really falls under the flexi-flyer category. The problem I am trying to avoid encountering is purchasing a brace that will not clear the Trick flow intake or the Mac air intake.
Anyone who has installed a brace whom also has these modifications I would really appreciate any help or guidance you can give me so I can avoid some headaches.
Thanks in advance, Chris

Your best bet is the Maximum Motorsports brace. It clears just about everything and mounts to the seam which is stronger than the sheetmetal.

I too I'm looking for a brace to clear my trickflow intake.

The onlt one that I have found so far that might work is HPM out of Omaha NE.

Makes a 2-point strut brace. Strut to strut only.

Other than that Maximum motor sports may fit but not sure, thier brace does have a wider mounting area on the firewall section to clear most intakes.

The MM will fit I have one on my 93 with a TFS Trackheat and 3/4" nitrous plate. It also cleared when I had a 1" spacer.
