How could your strut bar be hitting your air box (intake box, you mean?) Your strut bar must have ultimate massive girth for it to hit your air box or just have retarded design. I've never seen an OTTO bar before. Do you have pics?

The TRD bar has the simplest design. DC Sports is beefier but popular as well. There's also the Corolla XRS bar too.

^I agree TRD, DC sports and the Corolla XRS/Mtheory work great. I have the one from the Corolla XRS/Mtheroy bar and it works really good, before I was a Meagan Racing one it also was not that bad.

Click on the Shipping Info on the left hand side of the web page.
It seems they pride themselves on selling out-of-country
