6th gen vq35 intake manifold question

I saw this picture somewhere on the forums of a 2004:



For some reason, I thought the VQ35's intake manifold in the Maximas and Altimas had the design with the front 3 intake runners on top of the rear 3, not all next to each other 4th gen style like shown in this picture.

Is that a stock intake manifold on that VQ35 or what?

No it isnt stock. Its a Kinetix intake manifold. I contacted Kinetix when they had a manifold for the Altima, to inquire if it would fit the Maxima. They believed it would fit, so I bought one from them and fitted it to my car, and it fit great.

Hey Deus, what were the gains on your car after you put this on? I looked at their site and the chart was for an Altima, I am assuming it would be the same; but just wanted to confirm what kind of hp gains you got on it.

Cant confirm gains, but the Altima should be about the same. Gives it a nicer sound too!!

What is the benefit of this manifold? Shorter straighter larger runners?

More volume, equal length runners, no restrictions, smoother flow, better flow, looks awesome, sounds awesome, easy to install, makes replacing spark plugs and other engine wok easier . . . . .

I was waiting for someone to say that. I figured it wouldnt take long. Did ya happen to glance over the LOOOOONG list of positive aspects of the manifold?? You could always have ur stock manifold hogged out and polished. By the time you see THAT "price tag" suddenly the Kinetix looks like a pretty good deal. Ya gotta pay play, baby.

Whats the dyno aspect of it on an NA car. Not n20 or turbo. Albeit the 350z is different set up Ive read a long list of negtives over there. I just havent read too mant positves over here. Im getting rid of my wifes max this year and mine next year. Still like to follow things though.

IMO, the FWD Kinetix IM has not been proven in an NA application, nor boosted for that matter.

Its all a prefrence thing with the manifold. It is a lil expensive to some. And some like myself like it, and others disagree and thats their opinion. It helps tremendously on nitrous but N/A it doesnt put out the gains that people are wanting/expecting?? But all in all I love it!
