Which strut bar offers largest clearance to ASP IC pipe?
I have a GAB strut bar that comes in solid contact with the IC pipe.
I'm thinking that the Greddy or CUSCO may offer more clearance. Ideas or suggestions?

I have the greddy bar (which i believe is the same as the cusco bar) and there is enough clearance. I used to have the R1 bar, which caused some minor rubbing on the pipe.

When I was running that setup with twins I just shimmed my R1 strut bar up on the strut tower with a couple washers, gave it about 1/8" for clearance and no rubbing...

If you have recently done an engine change or new motor mount, you may want to check and make sure the motor mount on the drivers side is correctly installed. there is an "extra" oil pan bolt that interferes with the proper seating of the mount. the mount must be milled or the bolt must be left out for the mount to sit properly against the pan, and if not the engine will sit 1/4" hi, and you will get strut bar rubbing on the plumbing from the IC.

Follow up post to my problem.
The clearance issue between my GAB strut bar and the ASP/M2 Intercooler pipe is now SOLVED.
After browsing the forum, there was a post that mentioned that the coupler sitting on the Y Pipe did not allow for the ASP pipe going to the intercooler to sit low enough, because of the severe right angle in the pipe.
Here is a picture of the cure to my problem. I simply cut the coupler off at an angle.
