The negative comments about the manifold either come from jealousy or being naive about the manifold. The manifold is lighter, has 6 ram tubes, and is set up with a fitting for nitrous. With FI, it really makes the power, but even N/A as mine is, still makes fantastic power at around 4,000 rpm.
I would say that the manifold is worth the price. If you don't want to spend the money, the mrev and spacer are a good deal too. The main thing is to improve the airflow in the manifold and eliminate the restriction that the stock manifold has. PM me if you want any more info.

You wont loose power, you just wont make much NA, and FI is better. I've tested it NA and FI - on my car - and I went back the 1/2" spacer - more overall power on the dyno.
I have mine for sale if you want it - I had it re-polished and the laser etched Kinetix logo taken off.
PM me if interested.

ssv doesnt seem to have a good reputation in regaurds to their performance..
and id agree with the those of you that it does look nice
