Talking Kinetix Racing V+ and K&N aircharger installed!!

My first performance mods!!! Woo-Hoo!!
Today I installed:
-Kinetix Racing V+ upper plenum
-K&N Aircharger short ram intake
-Nismo Radiator cap

My impression:
So far, so good. The car sounds more aggressive and the tone is alittle louder and deeper. Dont know what kind of gains i got (if any) but the car definetly has some more "get up an go". Also I like the new look of my engine bay, i think the all black setup looks good. So i give these mods a

Very nice, very nice indeed

I'm liking that cold air box

I don't suppose I could trouble you to take a picture of the intake with the filter taken off?

It has a nice phenolic velocity stack inside the filter. I had this intake for several months but had to remove it b/c of interference with the APS strut bar. Couldn't feel any difference when I first put it on, or when I went back to the K&N panel filter.

I had the Kinetix V.4 before and liked it. Definitely sounded meaner, and I'm a fan of the all-black interior. Good work!

Looks nice Congrats

Yep, need to get a better flowing exhaust to take advantage of all that extra air.

Nice Kelekona - That Kinetics looks great! I don't want to turn this into another intake post, but what's the aircharger's box made out of? I've been looking at getting this intake...

Nice. I have the v4 plenum, like it and have been kicking around the idea of trading it in on the v+ (it's like $100 trade-in or something)... wondering if it's worth it...
