Default Kinetix V plenum or Motordyne Plenum Spacer?

Starting to mod my car, its a DE so I want to fix the front 2 cylinders breathing problem so should I get the Kinetix V Racing Plenum or the Motordyne Plenum Spacer 5/16"? I'm going for the hp gain but also which is more reliable? Thanks in advance.

PS: I did search and couldn't find anything comparison wise.

just sold my V+ and liked it, not using it anymore....made more noise than a spacer.. but unless you get a tune, does little for HP.. no parts for a DE really make power until you tune it out.

Its all for sound, exhasut doesnt do jack, intake doesnt do jack.. UNTIL YOU get an ECU tune, then its night and day.

Stick with the spacer. As already said, you aren't going to see much gain anyway.

This unit dyno-tested to make more power and torque than the Kinetix intake:
