KinetiX SSV Intake Manifold

What kind of gains will you see from this? Also, does it increase the sound quality? I am looking for something more aggressive, on the spectrum of exhaust sound, i would call it more muscle-like than 4 cylinder civic-like, if you know what I mean. Will this help me get that sound?

more importantly though, the power. will I see more gains from this than if i put a 5/16 spacer in? I already have the JWT/z tube set up.

If "zero" qualifies as a type of gain then that's the type you'll get

The noise you are looking for would probably be easier found by a header and getting high flow cats or test pipes. I would search for sound clips with these mods made.

I could actually car less about his gains, but when people make comments like 0 gains that is unfortunatly untrue, I happen to have this manifold and did not experince any loss and did gain up top, It also has to do with tuning. If you just throw it on then yes maybe it does suck. O well I know what I dynoed and have sheets to show. I also am going F/I so the gains will increase.

Threads about the SSV usually turn into a fight, some think you get gains, others think its junk.

I only know what I know about this from the people on here, I have never seen a dyno graph for one either.

Waste of money, merely a paper weight. Better options to be had for the cost of that.
