Default Kinetix SSV installed!

Well id like to start off by saying that installing was a breeze and this really is a quality piece. I ordered it off ebay from Alan-Performance, i spoke to him personally on more than one occasion and is a really great guy, id recomend him to anyone.

Bought it for 850 shipped and got it in a week, sure beats waiting 5 weeks from kinetix.

As far as performance goes, there is a slight gain noticable over the V4 it replaced. There is also quite a bit of weight reduction by adding this in, the SSV weight less than the V4/oem lower and also there is quite a lot of crap that is taken off with it.

However, i must say the sound that this thing makes at WOT is by far the best part. Cant really describe it but anyone that owns one can chime in and agree im sure.

Install is very straight forward and can be done with simple hand tools. You can do the install by yourself but having a friend to help made the install go much more quickly and smoothly.

Its raining today so now vid , besides my digital camera i use to take vids is a 3 year old cyber shot and the framerate is pretty poor, so acceleration cant really be judged, im gonna head out and take a few pics for you guys though.

04evo2: JIMMY! where the hell have you have been? why did you sell the STi?

BIO911: Its worth it if you have some extra money to throw around and want the best performing intake on the market. If you are strapped for cash you could just buy a spacer and get 80% or so of the performance.
