Hey guys,

I posted this thread over on my350z as well, got my re-tune coming up in a week and I wanna get this monkey off my back if I can.
I did some searching and asked around about replacing the crappy cork gasket that comes with the Kinetix SSV manifold.
From what I understand, Kinetix doesn't machine the flange after welding the part together, which leaves the bottom flange warped. (As was explained to me on facebook).

I'm sick and tired of how flimsy the cork is, its a pita everytime I need to remove the intake manifold to work on the car and then try and ensure there's no misfiring after reinstal.

So, short of having the flange machined, I was thinking about replacing the cork with an Aramid gasket from Motordyne, what do you guys think?
