    These strut braces are a great deal for under $200!

    They are Made in the USA from Mild Steel powdercoated for durability, and clear the factory and most aftermarket engine dress up covers.

    I'll be snagging one of these for the 300, after I get the swaybars & endlinks on. And once I get all the shit with my Charger sorted out. Great deal for a nice upgrade!

    Do you guys know yet, if the BT screw caps fit on, after this has been installed???

    Also, does this fit a 6.1 manifold?? Or does it rub??

    Looks nice. Neat with the flat mounts that allow you to reinstall the nut covers with a little bit of trimming.
    Unless they changed it from 2006 :) I think those nuts torque to 20 ft. lbs.

    For those wondering this does clear the 6.1L intake....

    We tested it on our shop 300C SRT and it does clear the intake. However it looks like this is a Challenger only Product as it won't clear the hood on the LX cars.

    So this will fit 5.7, 6.1L and 392 Challengers!
