FRPP manifold clearance?

[ARMORINE]

im wanting to upgrade to the frpp manifold when i put my cams in and i was told id have clearance issues with the strut tower brace. who here has the manifold and were you able to make it fit with the strut tower brace in place?

If I can sell my Steeda CMDP's I am looking to do the same (FRPP Intake) and have looked at these motor mounts as a possible option Blow By Racing or mill down my prothane ones so it will fit.

yeah ive looked at those. im not big on changing my motor mounts again. but i'll do it if i need to.

I have the 1/2" lowering motor mounts and the FRPP intake manifold was still too tall for the SGT strut tower brace. I added a few washers to the strut studs to space the bar up a bit and barely got it to clear.

Keep in mind however that I don't have a hood blanket and there's a huge hole in the hood under the scoop. This allows for the highest point of the brace to just barely tuck into place between the scoop and the manifold.

thats what i was afraid of , will have to take some measurements on my exaust system, may end up with a 3/4 inch drop unless i go to a taller brace. much research will have to be done.
