That is a awesome and a must upgrade for the 3.5's. Besides the gains it also looks alot better too!

Kevin your such a meanie lmfao!!!! Cant we all just get along. But I am getting tired of people/haters puttin in their .02 on something they dont have, cant buy or know nothing about. Getting a little old if you ask me. Heres my .02 though the Kinetix is a dam good product a lil pricey for some but hey who said modding cars these days was cheap, you have to pay to play fellas and we should all know that driving Nissans. I know nothing about the SSIM and dont care to know about it or what it does because I chose to spend my money on the Kinetix and thats what I'm sticking by! Some people are trying to compare the SSIM to the Kinetix N/A and that is def not the point I'm trying to make its all about forced induction with me, dam the N/A stuff if I wanted to go N/A then I would have but I chose to run nitrous along with Kevin so get off our backs and quit hatin why not give props or something or congradulate people on their success. The Kinetix makes good power N/A and does even better when there is some sort of forced induction involved, Kevin has already pointed this out in some previous posts. If the Kinetix wasnt doing its job then why would Kevins Max go from running 12.80s with it to 13.30s with the stock manifold, theres gotta be some logic to that?? The reason I'm so high on the product is because of what it does for me on the nitrous you cant even compare the two, Kinetix wins hand down. I bought the Kinetix because I knew I would be running nitrous and I knew it would help me tremendously. I didnt buy it because it was pretty or to just sit here and stare at it. I just wish people on here that dont have the manifold or dont wanna buy it or for whatever reason would just stop crying about it. Just give credit where credit is due and leave it alone and that credit should go to the people from Kinetix racing.

As far as comparing it to cattman headers...I personally wouldnt spend that much on exhaust either. I'm not going to go any further into that though because you were up at 3 AM responding...I dont want you losing sleep over it anymore, Kevin.
Hate to break the news to ya but those two are good friends of mine and I'm willing to bet that they are gonna take the backs of myself and Kevin. 97maximus and xlcrew have been nothing but a big help to me, helping me mod my car and giving me the right feedback. They are very and I mean very knowledgeable. They are sold on the Kinetix just as mush as I am. I'm the one providing the tests because I'm the one that just got finished tuning on the dyno today. I will get the dyno results up in the dyno section soon and then if you still wanna have doubts on this expensive or high priced manifold then so be it. I cant change your mind on the product which is fine but at least give it some credit or something?? The dyno run files will be out soon as well as the videos, 342whp and 367tq I think I'm doing something right.

hey, im just in here to see the results (in the form of dynographs), and was never in here for any other reason. However, I'm done posting in here because the responses are getting a little redundant and honestly just making some of you seem a little big-headed. Whats really sad to watch though is someone become very upset and frantic when faced with opposition and begin throwing out all these irrelevant factors to pump up their ego and justify their decision making. Wasnt it enough to just say "i like the manifold, thats all that matters" ?
in other words- Nobawdy be hatin' or cryin y0. S0 drop da neguhtivity and senzitivity awlready. Im outz PE@CE

Look man I'm not trying to come at you like that at all but hear me out, if you spent money on something that gave you pretty good gains N/A or forced induction it shouldnt really matter and to have some people on here doubt your dynos or the power you car is putting out or whatever the case may be you would get a lil defensive and irritated too trust me its just human nature. I could care less what people originally had to say about the manifold thats their own opinion on what they think about something they have no clue about or dont even own. I kept quiet for the longest time and have been trying to hold my tongue on the subject but its getting impossible. No negativity or anything like that, its just crazy how you have those kinds of people out there that think they know every little thing about every single freaking part out there and what it does or what its good or not good for etc.. I hatethose kind of people because they think they have either the fastest car out there and refse to beleive there is someone doing something else with another part that is going to better their car so then they get insecure and immediately start hating/bashing or whatever you wanna call it. There is always gonna be someone out there faster than you and that will have better ideas and not all people realize that. I am always open to suggestions about mods and diffrent things and I got a few pointers from Kevin and the things he pointed out was right and now that I'm in the same boat as him it just feels like were drowning because people wanna hate on the direction we chose which is fine. We will just keep doing our thing and doing our best to rep the Nissans and hopefully people will quit hating and if not thats cool too.
