Does any which front tower bar will clear the M2 large intercooler aluminum pipe that leads from the turbos to the intercooler. I bought a OBX tower bar and had to bent the pipe inorder for the bar to fit. I want to re do the pipe and get a propper fitting bar to reduce the air restricion.

You'll most likely have the best luck with the oem brace, as it is typically thinner than aftermarket braces.

No matter what brace you use, you will likely have an issue. I have never seen an M2 in person where the hot side piping didn't rub on the hood or shock tower brace.

My stock R1 brace rubs on the same m2 pipe. I drilled off a little bit in order for it to not rub all the way through the aluminum piping.

My M2 pipe does not rub on anything. I cut the connector hose at a slight angle and shortened it a bit, filed the back of the airpump at the mount a little and pushed the airpump down all the way and used the alt adjustor to adjust the belt, also used a slightly shorter belt. Plenty of clearance using R1 brace.
