Any XE Nova owners with a strutbrace could you post a pic of how it fits please!

I don't think the one i bought is gonna fit without getting rid of the SFi box..

I don't have an SFI box on mine but you may be able to judge if it would fit by seeing where it is relative to the can cover.

Nope the dimensions where properly worked out and it been tested.
Its just a workaround for more noise sensitive places and not the main filter.

novamadcars - Yup there was a very noticable difference in the way the car handled. I also already had a cage and rear strut brace in the car as well. The front end felt more solid and positive. To be honest I was quite supprised because I didn't expect to notice that much of a difference.

Heres an OMP strut brace on my own car, but I have the added advance of running T45's leaving a bit more room

I would think if you replace the SFI box with a powercap you shouldn't have any problems fitting this brace
