Definitely get rid of the Kinetix logo on the cover.

Since this is about opinions... I am not one to like logos. But the black one on the cover is not that noticeable. It would be worst if the lettering was in another color.

IMHO, the void on the cover would be worst. Just a flat black nothing-es... :-/

I would leave the Kinetix lettering on the cover, but would consider blacking out the vents so they don't look soo cheese.

Q to Kinetix : are the vents "needed" to lower temp under the cover or they are just for looks?

What is the word on the price? That is going to be badass when i go FI... I ordered another block to do my build up.. should come in a few weeks... I am going to take my time and do it right. I am going to go NA for now and get the bolt ons.. I am sure i would not have a problem selling some of the stuff that will not work with the kit.. But pretty much what i plan on getting will work with the TT.. I can't wait! this kicks but and looks badass... i hope the gains will be high

The manifold will work with any setup except the HKS SC and the Stillen SC. The manifold is $725 shipped under the GB and the cover is going to be in the low $100s. Feel free to check out the Kinetix GB thread and drop some cold hard cash!!!

I actually like the logo on the cover and would loose the one on the manifold. IMHO that is. But I can see that would not be practical since not everyone will buy the cover. That would leave the manifold un-branded.

If I'm going to be spending $700+ on this intake manifold, I'm not going to be covering it up with a cheap piece of plastic... it is just too good-looking of a design to be hiding...

Is Kinetix going to remove their name from the cover? I may buy one if they do. When does production on this piece begin?

I would drop the vents... Kinda useless it seems. The logo doesn't bother me because you can barely see it.

Other than that, looks OEM to me.

i think you should sell the cover painted, something basic, like the black and silver on the g35

It looks pretty good but damn, if you were to get the polished ver of the new Kinetix, why would you want to cover it up?! It's a work of art by itself.

My v4 just developed a leak so bad it squeals like a stuck pig!
Sure hope Kinetix will let me trade this defective v4 in on the cast piece because I don't trust this v4 anymore . . .

Talked to Kinetix; they are working with me to resolve the problem, in a prompt and courteous manner too.
