Exclamation ZZP Strut Bar

Hey guys... I was looking to purchase the zzp strut bar.. Mostly for engine bay looks. However for some reason it says it doesnt fit the turbo models only the supercharged models... I have a 2010 ss with zzps full intercooler kit. I was wondering if you guys have had any experience with the strut bars and if anyone knows if they actually do fit or not? Thanks in advance!

The hotside cp will be on the way so it won't fit

Yeah there is almost 0 clearance between the charge pipe and hood. There is also a. Egligable gain in stiffness on the turbocharged model anyway.

I suppose i just could have popped the hood instead of posting about it... The intake and hot side piping are in the way and the struts are kinda far back almost underneath that cowl so no way is any strut bar fitting in there

honestly a strut bar doesn't make a big different in these cars because the strut towers are basically attached to the firewall.
