I know the majority of the people are running Crawfords, and I know they are good. But what about Kinetix? How many of you are running those and what are your experiences with them?

I can't afford to pay $500 for new Crawfords and I've been looking for used ones for about a month with no luck. Crawfords used, sell for what I can get Kinetix for new. Why the big price diffrence?

 

i like my kinetix.

 

i like my crawford.

 

kinetix here. cheaper and hasnt fail me yet (knock on wood)

 

Anyone have a link to the kinetix

 

how about kinetixracing.com

 

cant go wrong either way.........id go crawford thoq

 

Thanks wasn't sure if there was a place selling them cheaper... plus I am new to the import performance market. Both brothers have Mustangs

 

Do they both use carsound cats? If so I say get the Kinetix, why pay $130 more for the same brand of cat. Crawford does appear to have a mount to retain the cat bracket.

 

I have Crawfords and no problems thus for (minus the occasional rattling from the cold against the heatshield).

Although I will say this, I have heard a few times of crawford's mounting brackets tearing from the cat on MREV cars (ESPECIALLY used crawfords) and causing an exhaust leak and very raspy sound. So I would advise against buying used. Also, but an engine damper (like Stillen) to minimize the amount of engine movement so you don't run the risk of the cats tearing.

 

Kinetix cats use Carsound; Crawford's use Walker....

 

I have the crawfords...i like em but I still need to bend some of the heat shield when i but in my headers for the rattles. As for the mounting brackets they have taken them off of the newer made cats to avoid leaking and breaking the welds. My 2 cents.

 

i used to have a mustang before my g35....seems liek most people on here did too

 

yes

btw, nobody has mounting brackets for cats anymore - they found out they were causing them to crack.

 

performance wise, its the same, but the crawfordz have better quality workmenship
