![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
If any of you guys have a link or a Video or a clip of the Kinetix SSV manifold I would really wanna see or hear a clip of it. And to those that have it installed please answer a few questions....
Does it sound same as stock?
How much horse power will it add? at the wheels?
Is it easy to install?
Can I still use the stock sway bar?
Is it worth 800 bucks?
does it just bolt on?
Does anyone have a used one or wanna sell one???????
Thanx!

I wouldn't be as negative as everyone else here... I like the SSV, but you can't think of it as a performance mod. Think of it like a body kit. It does little (if anything) for your performance, but it sure does look nice.
It's a shame the performance is not so great -- I would love to justify that sort of bling under my hood.

I have one that I just bought off a member of the G35 forum, I ws going to install but now I plan on saving up and going the Stillen supercharger route, this would of-course conflict, I just finished polishing it back up from the previous owner, so if you want I will sell it to you cheap for 500 plus shipping

I dont know if what you are speculating is true or not but my car is 413 at 7.9 psi with the SSV and a conservative tune. My friend dicked up my map so I was in the process of retuning it before I left home. It seems to flow great for my FI. How many cars out there are at 413 at under 8 psi? I'm not saying this is my only mod, I have a host of others. There are many people with similar setups but needing 9psi for 413-420ish.
Currently my HP is unknown I bumped the boost to 10 PSI and I lose traction in 3rd when accelerating hard. Not spin em hard per say but definately I feal it kick out a bit.

Yes you can use the stock sway bar all day long, hell you can even use the stock strut tower brace too

Bolts right up to the intake runners right after you remove the plenum. Other wise its real hard to shut the hood with the SSV on the plenum.

your welcome
Summery: this is one of those mods you just have to either do or not do. people have a hard time justifying spending the money on this thing that looks nothing like the stock plenum and they dont know if there is any gains because of the lack of before and after dynos. You have people with crawfords saying this is crap, people with the SSV saying the crawford is crap, Isothermal spacers saying 5/16 spacer suck, ITS FREAKING INTAKE ANARCHEY!!!! Bottom line its what your willing to dump into the car and be willing to part with the money, sure you can get one that looks good on paper but look at the dynos put out by kenetix on the ssv. Pretty good. Here's a hint, if you planning on going direct port Nitros; this is definately the manifold for you. 6 direct runners in stainless, easy tap and mount and your done (removed from the car of course). Thats something you cant do with the plenum and spacers affordabley.

I'm looking forward on the results of that test (if it ever happens).

I will keep searching but I am very interested in this product as I will be supercharging my 3.5 in my 95 maxima and they just started the first group buy for these IM in the Altima forums for FWD application. Does anyone know if there are before and after dyno's of this mod on a FI vehicle?
