I just got my New FSTB installed to my 2001 MAX, Looks very good and very good price! $35 with free Shipping, couldn't go wrong , plus it is made by BOMZ , pretty good Brand.

Check it out man!!

WOW I like this one a lot better than the one I ordered from southwestautoworks. How is the fit and do they make them for 2k2

 

IT Fit perfectly, I think that many people in this forum are using the BOMZ strut bar. And all of them like it , thats why I brought it man. have a good one!

 

Also, I am planning to get a Aluminum Spoiler on my ride , please give some suggestion to get which one from the link below:

Cause I just check out the Bomz website, and they made pretty neat spoiler. thanks guys -----pls suggest me!

 

I jus have one word to say RICE!!!! Man do not put that spoiler on your car, leave it for HONDAS

 

Good to hear... I just ordered the exact same FSTB from directparts a few hours ago. I have a 2002 though, hopefully I won't run into any major fitting issues with the intake or hood... and if I do, there's tons of threads on what to do about it anyway.

 

My's is 2001 , it just fit like a glove, it shouldn't have any problem for your 2k2.

 

You might have a lil clerance problem where the throttle body connects with the engine just use couple of washers and it should fit just fine, but if it fits all the power to you.

 

The 2k1 and 2k2 engines are totally different and 2k1 do not have a problem with the part where the throttle body connects to the engine. There is no problem with the fit on the screws, only in that one area.

 

Well, a few cents worth of washers and a litle caution still beats the cost of something that is guaranteed to fit like the Stillen or new Cattman bar.

 

Please tell me you're joking.

 

 

sorry man. but there isn't a spoiler on that page that's nearly big enough.

 

i'm gonna get one of these too...i've been waiting for a nice looking fstb for a good price...the stillen is nice but too much money...
how much did you tighten it??

 

Looks good but looks a little thin. Think it might flex?

 

I was thinking the same.....looks like the bar's hollow or something..
....

 

hey guys,

The bar is not thin at all, it is quite thick and very very strong. IT is 45mm , away bigger than the normal FSTB 30mm/35mm .

Nice finish, and the price.............CAN"T BEAT IT MAN!!

I think I am going buy some more stuff from this website, because they ship my FSTB right the way, I got it in 2 days after they charge my credit card. 2 thumbs UP

 

I have the Bomz one too. It is a perfect fit. Well, actually, I had to grind out the holes a bit because the bolts weren't lining up perfectly, but other than that it has been smooth sailing since day one.

I tightened mine to 35 lbs.

 

For some reason, you and the phrase "smooth sailing" just don't sound quite right.

Sorry dude, I had to say it1

 

But anyway, $35 and you can get a nice finish FSTB (I can it is same quality as the Stillen FSTB), this is a "Killer Price", and I seen some other website selling Bomz FSTB for around $65-$75 plus shipping fee. U do the math! So, I am so Happy with my New FSTB .

 

Let us know if it fits fine on the 2K2.

 

This is the same bar that used to be sold as a generic one a while back, in fact i set-up a group deal for a bunch of these almost a year ago. Remember *directcarparts* on E-Bay?

Anyway, yes it fits on a 2k2 as long as the bar is extended enough. Otherwise it'll hit the manifold and you'll hear grinding noises when going forward or revers.

 

For its price, there has to be some futzing around....or are they all like that no matter which brand or price you get?

 

My BomZ fit perfectly on my 02 SE. Didn't rub or hit on anything. No washers needed. Seems to be well made. I've not noticed any flex or loosening. Very happy with the purchase (direct car parts through Ebay)

 

OUCH! One of the funniest things i've read was in the post about ur NOS bottle exploding. You said something to the effect of, "My fiancee is used to my disasters and didn't even flinch."

 

Wasn't me, I think you mean Andy?

Oh wait, I got it now!

 

theres a thread on max-world.org where a member actually sanded the intake manafold down a lil bit to make the bar fit better...

Linky

 

Good enough of a guarantee for me considering the price of the thing. On to my next worry... the new Cattman RSB I ordered. Hope it fits well.

 

Hey boba001

How much is the Cattman RSB , I want to order one of those

thx

 

Search on it...there is a startup offer as we speak...

 

looks good

 

Also, Guys, I found this muffler on the web, check this out, it comes with the turnable silencer, VERY COOL!!

Are you kidding me??

35 bucks?

I got my Bomz FSTB from eBay for over 50 bucks!!

 

Sorry for u hotwheelschan

 

omfg I'm cancelling my ordr at courtesy Nissan right now!

Its SOOOOOOOOOOOO much cheaper there

 

This BOMZ bar looks exactly like the SWAW bar. I bet they are made by the same company.

 

has anyone installed the BOMZ FSTB on a 2003 Max? Any problems encountered?

 

As far as I can tell the '02 and '03 have the same layout so you shouldn't encounter any installation problems.

Lonz
2k2 SE 6spd
Frankencar Intake (backorder)
UR UDP
Bomz FSTB
Cattman RSB

 

I got my BOMZ fstb a couple weeks ago but I haven't installed it yet. I tried to see if the holes would fit and they look like that they would but the bracket that holds the intake is on the way. It's nothing major, a little grinding would fix this problem.

 

How was the Cattman RSB to install?
