kinetix intake plenum

i was wondering if anyone knows of an after market manifold for our cars
kinetix makes a NICE plenum for the vq35 but nothing for the vq30.

If you want something just for looks then polish your stock IM as already suggested. Kinetix has never been proven to add any power, waste of $900 IMO.

To answer your question though, no, no one makes an aftermarket manifold for our cars. 4th gen owners are FAR too cheap.

Don't be an idiot. As a whole, 4th gen owners are cheap. No one is going to make an aftermarket intake manifold for the 5 or 6 of us who would actually buy one (after dyno proof of course). Vendors only produce things when they can sell hundreds, and there are not hundreds of 4th gen owners who would line up to pay $900 for a quality intake manifold. For 4-5 of them, an IM like that would be thousands of dollars to make it worth the effort for the manufacture. There are some of us who are still willing to pay for quality parts, but I'd say we represent less than 1% of 4th gen owners. Hell, my diff alone cost $1300.

4th gen owners are cheap, end of story.

You could polish/chrome your current one and put a kinetix sticker on it. You seem to really like stickers much like I did when I was 3.

And for under $500, you could have your choice of VI that has proven gains.

I heart VI.
