Threads discussing the plenum are about 4 years old. Has anyone bought one recently? I'm talking about the black plastic plenum that is warrantied up to 15psi - I know there were issues with the older ones, but I'd like anyone's input on the more recent version regarding finish, reliability and potential customer service issues.

At $300 I might go for it rather than the motordyne spacer due to the look of it more than anything, but only if there are some generally positive responses.

Thanks

Maybe just get an APS Tallboy? Or Crawford v5? Those are proven... MD, AAM, and PE spacers are proven too.

 

I am on a budget and need one that keeps the stock strut brace. Thanks for the suggestions though!

 

5/16 motordyne w/ iso-thermal gasket will do good for ya and you will keep your stock strut

 

I've had one on my car for over a year now, no problems. I would buy another if i was in the market.

 

The Kinetix plastic plenum got its butt kicked in the Plenum vs Plenum Spacer Shoot-out. Is the new Kinetix a radical improvement over the old one? Don't know. Why risk it?

 

stick to a spacer then, they work great, low key, simple install, retains the strut brace

 

Do you have a link to that? The Kinetix site quotes some very high figures for gains with their new (don't know how new) plenum - figures I'm quite skeptical of!

I am attracted to the plenum rather than a spacer because I like the look of it, it saves weight, is more resistant to heat soak and personally, I can't see how an aluminum spacer can cost $200+ . I'm also hoping to the FI route at some point - I just can't bear to have a Nissan that doesn't have a turbo....
