see, dont diss the kinetix hfc when the more expensive cat does the same. I hate how ppl think just bc u pay more for a product it is suppose to be better than the rest. I have the kinetix cat and I love mine. No need to bang out the drive side heat shield like the crawford and haven't cracked yet (knock on wood, lol).

Last time I spent like 30seconds on my350z and pulled up 6 instances (w/o spending any time) where people had either cracked their crawford cats or blown them out. I know kinetix has had their issues, but all the problems have been addressed (supposedly) in their latest version. No idea about crawford's though.

ut - blowing out inards and cracking
r/t - blowing out inards constantly
crawford - cracking and blowing out inards (only a few complaints iv'e read about blowing out though, more cracking)
kinetix - cracking (oddly never read anything about them blowing out)
helix - havn't been manufactured since like jan. 2005
it's really either between crawford or kinetix right now.......of course most people on here suck Crawford's nuts claiming they're god-like products and kinetix is the lowly scum of teh earth, but in reality they're both good and both have problems........but atleast kinetix has redesigned theirs to solve them, no idea about crawford.

Make a Good product and you too can get a nut sucked...I notice the same 3 people bash anyone that says anything nice about crawford. Guess what, people who like products made by someone with their awesome attitude get sales and have a following. There is no need for crawford to redesign thier product based on what has been read here. Mod your car and it will be less reliable and have issues quicker than stock.
Whatever you do don't NOT buy crawford because people rave about their products. That's not such bad thing. I never hear anyone rave about kinetux except those that are bitter they should have gotten something better in the first place.

Seems like you have a reverse hard-on for crawford.
BTW - I've had both kinetix and crawford, and I'm now back to stock.

You know Kinetix HFC's are Carsound (aka Magnaflow) cats. You can buy them for about $85 a piece, bring it to a exhaust shop and have him bend some pipe with an O2 plug and you're set!!! Probably $100 bucks cheaper in the end.

Call and talk to John. Tell him you're from the Nissanclub forum and he'll throw you a better price. Just food for thought.
