New 3.5 SSV Polished intake manifold
Has anyone modified their maxima with one of these? http://www.kinetixracing.com/index.a...ProdID=13&HS=1 Wondering if its worth the money for 13hp.

It would be worth the money if it added power all through the powerband, instead of just a 1000rpm window. And it added 15mpg. And it sprouted gnomes every saturday that washed the car.
It's pretty though

Its not worth the money unless you are going FI. For that price you can get headers which would give you more gains.

Well I already have hotshot headers,berk intake,and complete open cattman exhaust system for 2 yrs and it just keeps me wanting more and more hp. My friend here in el paso says he is going to purchase one,but untill he gets his tax refund. If I see good results on his car then I'll buy one too. I'll keep you posted on this project.

Check the dyno sheet from their final product, and the test car has I/H/E.

In support for these gnome producing headers, I will say that most sheet metal intake manifolds (SMIM) do not typicallly make big power differences until around the stock redline and higher. As you can see on the dyno sheet the SMIM starts to really pull away from the stockers right before he lets off the gas. If someone were wanting to build a car reving to around 7 or 7.5 k you would probably be looking at much higher hp gains from this intake manifold...Prolly great for FI too.
Notice also the car was not tuned in either test.
Still a lot of $$$ tho.
