Default Kinetix SSV manifold on N/A

Curious to if it's true I'll lose hp and torque if I buy this on my N/a build. I'm gonna go with the vortech v3 supercharger in a few months but was wondering if I should wait till then. Does anyone have this manifold and if you do what do you think. Thanks. I have a invidia true dual exhaust, test pipes, and jwt pop charger as of now.

from reading nothing but bad things on N/A and not worth the money on FI, I would defiantly not buy it wither way unless it was for looks, but even then I'm not a huge fan of how it looks.

They don't make the SSV anymore, right?

The new one is called the Velocity Manifold.

I haven't searched around, but idk if anyone has made big gains with it. Its supposed to make a lot up top (6000+), but who knows.

How about this one?

i had a kinetix ssv, the chamber was simply too big and didnt create enough velocity so it fell flat on its face, sold it and went with a modififed stock manifold.

it looks great but its performance sucks.

Hmm, interesting. How'd it feel the closer you got to redline?

Does adding a spacer change the tone of the exhaust?

So I'm curious what should I do for when I get the vortech supercharger, should I got the the mrev2+spacer or can I do the mrev2+ kintetix velocity manifold? Which would be better for fi. I hear so many different things but I hear the velocity manifold is one of the best for a f/I build. If I went with velocity could I add the mrev2?
