i've got an 01 2200...vibrant strut bar is pushing down on the AEM CAI a lil bit....will it be ok or take it off? I don't think it would cause too much trouble with the TB but not sure. Also i have the carcustoms motor mounts in so my engine isn't moving...maybe that will help make sure no TB damage?

so you wanna run your car without an intake? you ARE kidding right? thats not a great idea dude

i'm talking about the strut bar lol

i have a strut bar from ebay and a aem cold air intake and i dont rub anywhere

oh ok lol, misread that... sorry dude

i had to rotate my bar back at about a 40 degree angle to clear my intake tube. can't flip it upside-down because it won't let the hood close properly.

Truth.... Sell your strut bat on ebay or somthing, and go pick up a GM factory Cavy/sunfire convertable bar..... and polish it , chrom it, or even put a new coat of paint on it.
I found that the 3 piece bars flex too much and is almost as usefull as not having one on.... but it looks good!

I had the same problem, and my solution was bend the bar to make the intake fit!
and if the bar can bent... once again, its useless!
