Are you satidfied with your FSTB

I was debating whether or not to buy an FSTB,My Frankencar intake, and budget y-pipe r on the way , and i need another mod to start looking into, i know FSTB's are pretty cheap, like 30 bucks shipped, but do you guys think its worth the price, could you tell a noticeable diff. etc?

well worth it...I got a stillen one, it looks great in the engine bay and it tightens up the front a little. Get an RSB too, it helps a lot also.

FSTB helps a bit, RSB helps more. but FSTB is cheaper, but definetly get RSB. so get both.

FSTB will make a big difference in the responsiveness of your car (no flexing). Probably one of the best mods for the money. (RSB makes it even more noticable but it does just fine by iteself).

I have the Cattman Ti-bar, very cool looking, thankfully I didn't really have to pay for it cause it's pricy

I had rattling on the right side (passenger) of the car after I changed my struts. It ended up being that the FTSB was hitting the A/C condenser hose when I went over big bumps. Re-tightened it to the correct torque & haven't heard the noise since.
