kinetix intake manifold
Good question, I'm guessing "no" for a direct bolt up. Manufacturers seem to change things just enough to where parts don't match up when you think they would.
I've got an 05 built in 04, purchase a driver side mirror from an 04 (same options) and it didn't bolt up directly. We had to do some drilling and grinding on the internals and then it fit. A good option if it doesn't fit is just get the stock one polished.
You going straight into a Kinetix mod? What else have you done to it so far?

Forget the Kinetix, its junk if you ask me. Just lloks nice but no one has proven HP on the dyno with the Kinetix as opposed to stock. Do the SSIM mod on you stock intake manifold and polish the outside and your golden. 
BTW, SSIM = secret sauce intake manifold, lol. Basically there is a divider shelf on the inside of the stock UIM. The SSIM mod removes the shelf and grinds smooth the edges where it sat, thus creating more air flow direct thru the UIM. Also get the block off plate from NWP and the NWP spacers. The block off plate eliminates your VIAS assembly (located on the pass. side of the UIM) and allows again for better air flow.

well i have an intake, a racingline y pipe, nd a catback...so i thought the next step would be the intake manifold
+1, but why not get both since your going to be in there anyway. And if you have plenty of cash get the headers too

To quote the first poster:
"I gained a 11.4 peak HP and 15.8 peak ft-lbs. As you can see there is a bit of a loss before 3500RPM. After that it makes power over the stock manifold between 3600-4600 and 5000-redline."
