Default Intake Manifold?

DOes anybody out there know of any good Intake manifolds? Ive been looking at the Kinetix, but ive heard rumors that it wont line up properly, that theres no real HP increase, and that the stock intake manifold has better response than any other aftermarket Manifold. Any ideas? I also plan on getting an ARC intake to go along with the Kinetix Manifold, just for a little more power......

ARC intake is the most expensive, but doesn't mean it's actually the best

which kinetix manifold are you talking about the SSV or the plastic plenum?

this should be in the intake forum, try a search there also

crawford doesn't make one in plastic, theirs are cast. The Kinetix non-SSV is plastic...based on many others testimonies I say don't buy that one.

Motordyne is the best right now for the money and Crawford coming in at 2nd for bang for your buck. I am patiently waiting for the 350evo IM to see what they come up with since I usually love their stuff.

Yeah thats all i really care about is the Performance, i dont care about the money, its a Z, nothing but the best no matter the cost, i just dont want to buy something real expensive and not get the power increase that a cheaper one can do. Thats all, im just comparing companies and gain thats all. You Feel me!
