I'm not sure, I would imagine so. Maybe call strange and see, or call the retailer.

Called them, no-go for Strange. They pointed me as Chris Austin, but no luck there either. They talked about Mustangs Unlimited, trying there now...

I have a strange extra clearance strut tower brace, it rides just up against the hood liner and is about an inch and a half thick, I would say if you have 2 maybe three inches of clearence between the hood and your whipple you are in, what is the clearence?

??? what exactly does a strut brace do for the Mustang? It seems kinda overkill unless you are road racing. I just want my 06 to go fast in a straight line.. I take it easy on the corners.

It just stiffens the body abd suspension up.

i tell ya my k member brace really stiffens up the feel of the car...makes the shifting feel more notchy...little more vibration makes it way through to the shifter as well....I was wondering about a strut brace as well

I don't know if there is one that will fit over a KB SC or not... there doesn't seem to be much clearance...

Do all the KB intakes look like that because it is ugly.

Their theory for that intake is to pull colder air from the bottom of the car as opposed to the hot air in the engine compartment like most other blower intakes. Its a sound theory, but not really sure how effective it is.
