Anyone have a kinetix plenum and have this problem? I am leaning towards the Kinetix for my 05 6MT, instead of a spacer. Now I hear this problem, and it makes me worry as the Kinetix is not even metal. can it flex enough to make the bolts loosen? If a spacer is causing problems, where everything is aluminum, how will a "plastic" plenum cover behave?

Anyone have the bolt pattern/order you're to tighten them down in? Can't remember where I stored my instructions when I got the spacer from Tony. Putting in the JDM Battery Cover tomorrow, will check the bolts while I'm at it.

thanks for the heads up guys,

i just checked mine and they all needed about 1 full turn or so. Not too bad but i haven't driven it yet to see if theres a difference in performance.

For the ones that were loose, how long ago did you install your spacer? And how about the ones that were still tight, how long ago for you? I wonder if this is an issue that arises after the spacer has been installed for a longer period of time.

I installed my spacer over a year ago....they could have all been at correct spec, but I gave it a little turn without a torque wrench - probably not a wise idea =(
