Plenum question....
Those of you who have installed a new Kinetix or Crawford performance plenum, did you use a new Nissan plenum gasket upon installation? When I installed my polished plenum I used the existing one and had no problems. I'm going to be installing a new performance plenum soon and was wondering..... Thanks!

I used the original gasket when I put my original Crawford on. When I installed the v5, I put on a new gasket, just for insurance. For the Kinetix, since they are prone to leaking, I would use a new gasket. Cheap insurance IMO.

guys please do some research before we hijack another thread on the kinetix leaking, which if installed right does not. They are making a new mold to allow much more over torque before causing any damage to the plenum. This is a brand new product, and there will always be a few problems until all bugs are worked out. Do a search and there will be pleanty of info to ease your concerns. If that doesnt do it pm lsdunique (aka Kinetix)

Nope
There is no need to replace the OEM gasket unless there is physical damage to it. I am not sure about the Crawford Plenum, but the KINETIX plenum comes with a gasket attached to it and as mofoz stated, they are now shipping the new "version2" plenum with much higher torque ratings. I believe that lsdunique said that they were at around 120 lbs of torque and actually sheared off the bolt and there was still no damage whatsoever to the plenum.
You'll be fine, guys!
