I ask because despite me loving the way it looks I really want to fit an intake, as in do it myself and the only one I like is the infinity designs one, which lead engineer/owner confirmed will not fit with the CF OE brace.

Think Bee Pee said most of it is done with the aluminium as he did before and afters.

I could always put the turner CF ones in I suppose? Which originally I was cussing...

I'd consider the AFE tubular brace but apparently collides or rubs with engine cover !? And where that one attached means one use bolts being removed to service the engine.

Also maybe too much of a good thing with AFE and OE aluminium?

Thanks
Eh I mean I personally love the CF brace but not sure how much of a different it makes. There are other aftermarket intakes that fit with the CF brace: Turner and Eventuri for example
