Good question, I'd like to know as well.

Right now I think the GT Spec tie bar is the only one that does, maybe the NM Engineering one as well.

M7's will fit over most, I think. Drop them an email to know for sure.

I have the original (straight) M7 bar and I had to trim just over 1/4" from the notched part of the intake box. The new M7, designed to clear the JCW intake box, should fit.

GT Spec wouldn't clear the MAF on the JCW Intake, but the JCW Bar did. The new M7 is also supposed to clear the JCW Intake. You might check these two out.

You would think that the NM bar would fit because thier bar fits thier air filter which is like the K&N
