Does JCW Strut Brace fits on NM Eng. Hi-Flow Induction Kit

Hi, i have a question is Does JCW Strut Brace fits on NM Eng. Hi-Flow Induction Kit? cuz the JCW Strut Brace is much cheaper than the NM one, so i am considering to get a JCW strut brace instead of the NM Billet Aluminum Tie-Bar.

Its not going to be cheaper if you got the JCW strut brace after you get the NM intake. I had the M7 strut bar and it did not fit with the NM intake. I went for the NM strut brace and gave away the M7 strut brace.

You may be in a situation similar to this:


Just go for this set up. It looks much better than the JCW bar.



The above is an old pic. I no longer have the NM intake. I swapped it out for a DoS intake, which I think is much better anyway.

xD yes i did bookmark your twp threads about NM stuff, thank you for your experiences. but the situation is NM-$305 on ebay, JCW-$240 on ebay, and i saw there is a little forward radian on the JCW one, and i really want to save some money after i purchased my MINI JCW
