Default vq35de kinetix intake plenum v+ 03-06 question?

i was lookin at getting the powerlab plenum spacer from concept z performance. i looked on there website and saw they had a kinetix plenum for only 249.99. would it be worth it to spend the extra 90 bucks and get the actual plenum or would i need the spacer to get more out of it?

Before buying aftermarket plenum or plenum spacers read the Sports Z magazine Plenum vs Plenum Spacer Shoot-Out.

so the research i am doing is pretty much telling me, since i have an 06 rev-up that a spacer alone wont do much, that i would need a lower plenum to compliment it. havent really found out anything about the upper plenum yet

mom?

you asked for advise, presumably from people who know more than you do

In this case- if the choice is between a spacer alone and a kinetix manifold on its own, for a revup, the answer is NEITHER. The spacers work best on the revups with the first gen lower collector. The spacer on it's own with a revup do not add as much as they do on their own to the non revup DE's. The manifold is not worth getting regardless of the year car it's going on (IMHO). You would be better of leaving the manifold portion of the car alone, fitting test pipes, and exhaust and getting some sort of tune to start off

+1

You come here asking for advice, and this guy knows his sh*t. I would agree with the lower collector. You're going to waste your money on the spacer dude.
