Default Crawford

For the people that have had the pleneum installed for a good time now how does the Z's extra power feel from 4K----redline. Does the car pull harder, enough to make it worth the $450?

It's been said over and over. Ya buddy, it's worth that and more. IMO, it's the best bang for the buck out there. There is no flat spot, the car pulls strongly right up to redline. MATY - Get It!

The bling bling version? There are some pictures up of it. It looks MUCH better than the other version. No offence but the weld looks nasty on the original version, which is the main reason I wouldn't get it... now if you could just keep the factory strut bar... just a random thought, but could you integrate it into the plenum?

Crawford Z sells it, no hood modifications, you just have to get rid of your factory strut tower brace

Dumb question- When it says $200 core, does that mean I have to send my core in first, or I send it in after I get my Crawford plenum? Thx.

I was noticing that also on some pictures of it... it looked really shabby which I thought was odd considering they are asking people to put it on nice looking, expensive sports cars.

It means that you pay the $200 core charge along with the plenum cost. When you received the plenum, you then send your stock one back to get the $200 refund.

Actually the welds are beautiful, completed by a professional welder. On a whole you may not like the "welded look" but it does not look shotty by any means. It does have a race car look to it.

We trust you on the core. You pay us the $$ for the plenum we send it to you, you send your old one back with the enclosed shipping label.

Just an update, I have dynoed my car about 8,000 miles after initial install. My gains were still a nice 8 hp at peak, 17 at 6500 with no fall off. Torque was higher throughout (between 1 and 12 ft-lbs).

You seem to forget WE drive those nice looking, expensive sports cars... Come with us to a GT event where there are $100k+ Porsche turbos... THOSE guys build some rigged parts.

Probably not, but the repo man would be if you tried to stop him

Sooooo.. the price of the Plenum is $500, then I send them my core and they send me back $200?? So the real price "after rebate" for the Crawford is only $300.00??? Is that right? That might convince me to forget about the stock strut bar!

I think they mean its $500 for the crawford plenum plus a refundable $200 core charge, $700 total until the core is recieved back at which point your $200 is refunded, correct me if I am wrong.
