did Kinetix ever make any revisions yet? if it made HP gains it may be worth the money. it does look good just not for $1k without gains.

No gains under N/A application nor F.I. applications. The stock intake plenum is pretty good.

its a shame that a intake manifold that looks that good has no gains. i think id probably pay $300-$500 for it based on looks alone. with decent gains i'd possibly pay the $1000.

According to Kinetix, they plan on re-thinking this thing in the future and releasing it later this year. Not sure if that means any revisions to it, or more in-house development, but that is what they told me via email. It was put on hold due to some other priorities and it sort of got "shelved" where it was at.

So, just sharing.

The thing is, you can only make so much power on a NA motor. And usually a CAI, HFC's/ TP's, exhaust, and tune are going to be it. Which are the mods most want anyways. So why bother with any other mods?

Me personally, I am looking at it for "show car" type appeal. I want all the "go" stuff as well, but I am interested in this thing for the bling bling aspect. Any performance increases would just be gravy.
