Crawford v5 installed
Bolted this on yesterday with my buddies. Talk about simple...the whole process with strut bar took under an hour. Immediate gains were felt. I love this thing! Has a very mild sound to it...you'd probably notice it if you didn't have any other mods, otherwise it's pretty hard to hear it. Seems to compliment the JWT very nicely.
The guys at Crawford are fantastic...kept me updated all along the way, even though they're back ordered on their plenum...took 2 1/2 weeks to get it...not bad.
I was wavering between kinetix and crawford....I'm glad I chose this path, and no worries about cracking! It looks super bad *** in the engine compartment too...I was so excited, I forgot to put on my ground wires (more for show)...something else to do today I guess!

I left the plastic piece off...looks cool with the strut bar. You can modify it with a dremmel tool to fit...seen some people do it.
The crawford v5 plenum is a stock plenum that has been modified...therefor they need stock plenums to continue to make their product. A *core* charge is what they charge you if you decide to keep your stock plenum. You simply send them your stock plenum as soon as you get a chance to put your new one on. The same process is common with throttle bodies.
Some people said they wanted to keep their stock plenums, and went with kinetix. There's no real point to keeping the stock plenum with a crawford, since you are essentially putting on a Z plenum..just a modified one. The price is the same when it's all said and done.

Two reasons:
1) The don't offer an "orange" color...just black, white, yellow, red, green, chrome (extra) and grey. There might be a blue as well..can't remember.
2) The black is a gloss black...it actually looks pretty awesome when you open the hood.
Pics to follow, as soon as cardomain gets back online.....mine looks sick with the zextreme orange ground wire kit.
