agreed but it does look like a quality piece, as with with IM.

 

yea those vents look gay and get rid of the company name . You guys should think of a symbol to advertise instead of your whole company name. The plenum looks good too remindes me of the rb25det motor plenum.

 

I bet one would look really good on your Z! I know where there is a GB going on for the IM!!!

 

Instead of CF, i'd rather have one in the color of my car.

 

It covers too much. The new intake is gorgeous, I would want to show mine off. I like the idea of a cover, but smaller.

Also, the Kinetix logo on the intake and the cover is a bit much.

 

Has the new full manifold given any trouble with ECU compatibility, CEL's, etc.? What about torque loss?

 

There is only 2 cars running this IM yet. One being a Vortech Z and the other being NA. As far as I know, this has not caused any problems with CELs or ECU compatibility, etc. There are dyno charts of this IM on both setups.

 

Since this ONLY fits the Kinetix manifold, I agree with other posters that the second "Kinetix" is redundant.

 

I agree...I won't buy it unless the "Kinetix" comes off the cover.

Me and my Vortech SC are having fun with this IM! NO problem with ECU compatibility, CEL's or etc.! Still hoping to do some road tuning this week, followed by a couple dyno pulls and post some numbers!

 

I like it but agree it covers that beautiful manifold a bit too much.

 

I like it but agree about the vents and moreso about the Kinetix name. I would really want the name taken off it. I am sure there is some sensitivity about that.

Whats it made of?
It looks like it comes forward quite a bit and I am wondering if it will work with the Vortech and ATI SC's. I mean those are the setups with the greatest gains so I would think you would make it work without having to cutting it up.
Does the cover come with the GB plenum price?

 

No it doesnt come with the GB price. It will be an additional $100 or so.

 

I like it but also like the IM. less of a cover to expose more IM is a good idea. How about the name on one (IM) and the logo on the cover?

 

hmmm, we had to fill a lot of dead space on the engine cover, but you make a good point about the fact that the cover only works with our manifold, which already has a logo on it.

The front section of the cover is the same shape asa the factory engine cover

 

Hurry up and ship those intakes!! I want that sucker!

 

Drop the logo (to much) and the vents (cheap design). CF would be nice.

 

Here's my thoughts which is fairly consistant to what everyone has been saying already:

[1] Remove the "Kinetix" logo off the cover.

[2] Remove the vents off the cover (Keep it simple & clean).

[3] Offer CF & Color Matching options for the cover.

[4] Offer Polished, Silver, or Black Powder Coating options for the IM.

 

I really agree with the logo removale and the vents be taken off, they look like the vetns you can buy at pep boys and stick them on your hood!

just my .02 cents and i will be purchasing an IM

 

I think the logo looks good. When does the first batch of intakes get shipped out?
