thanks.

some say its all show no go
some say they feel gains..

 

Its been out for a while now so now I can get some more input from people that have had it for months and can say they have had fit and finish issues etc.

Or people that have had it and feel real gains on the highway at 60-100mph or it slows down take off etc.

Want some seasoned users responses please. I am thinking about trading my stock one for this intake so it is important to me to hear responses on this product. I want something that will not fail after a few months, welds breaking etc. thanks for your input.

 

No fails on mine. I installed the manifold, test pipes, and headers all at the same time so I can't sa yif there are gains just for the manifold. There was a huge difference with all three of the bolt ons I installed at that time though. The manifold itself does not get too hot for the touch. I can drive 300 miles and still touch the kinetix manifold bare handed and not get burned or even get too hot to where I have to take my hand off of it.

Looks great, no fitment issues. Don't know if there are any definite gains just from the intake manifold.

 

I've had it for a year now, and I also had my ECU flashed from AAM for all the mods I have. Best investment ever was the ECU flash.

 

NA? Not a single proven dyno gain other than by kinetix themselves. Many have reported losses in power. Essentially a shiny piece of trash.

 

I've had my SSV for a while, save your money and just go with Motordyne, it's been proven over and over, Motordyne makes the best manifolds for the VQ platform. Unless you just want looks go with the SSV, if you want HP go with Motordyne.

 

xxhotelcrazyxx has or had one.. i think he took it off because everyone clowned on him hella hard' lol I think it was redlude that made him disappear for a minute

 

ECU reflash is a must to get anything out of the SSV...

 

Took it off? Clowned? Disappeared? What? Why would i take it off because of what others thought? I had a very slight notice in power gain, but it wasnt anything like blow your socks off "wow" type difference. Anyways still got it on buddy and lovin it just as much as when i put it on!

 

Anyone added it to a vortech setup?

 

I have the kinetix ssv combined with my injen short ram intake. When i switched from stock to kinetix i noticed high rpm gains, Anything above 4k you are going to hear a diffrence, your engine is going to roar. Which is nice

Would i pay 750 for it... NO WAY

I got mine for 200 plus my stock intake, so i jumped on it.

 

Thats a sweet deal!!

 

Old thread hope some can answer this this manifold is used instead of placing the plenum spacer or in conjunction with the plenum spacer

 

replaces plenum spacer. get the version 3.
