Default Crawford Plenum?

I am new to the plenum upgrade, but is it safe>

I dont want my car to be annoyingly louder from it, or cause my z to have reliablity issues.

I have a JWT popcharger and guess it would work with the plenum, right>

Are the gains noticable?

-Thanks guys.

-Dave

IMO, the Crawford is not louder than the stock plenum. The increase in power is definitely there above 3.5K RPM. This is a great mod. This mod does not affect reliability. I have a POPCharger on mine also. The noise comes from the POPCharger.
My advice - Just Do It!

people mention a 'woo woo' sound, but I had no sound issues while I had mine, I definitely recommend it!

I have an ugly crawford and love every day of it...

Crawford v.0001

I'd say 10-15 hp - no warranty issues, great piece.

You might want to look at the picture of mine above to see what it is. Then go to:

http://crawfordzcar.com/

To see what it does.

There are also many posts to this forum that explain it in detail.

Don't know where you are in Tennessee, but Crawford is in Nashville.

Will a plenum upgrade cause my dealshi* to give me a hard time about warranty?

Any experiences?

That's a loaded question here lol.

I have my body armor on today so I will shoot first.


Kinetix is new I have Crawford they were first out and on their 5th revision all have worked well.

Kinetix is N/A Crawford is N/A, N20 and FI.

One has a different STB.

I like both, what is your goal can't go wrong with either quality or support wise, one needs your core.

How did I do?

You'll get lots of opinions on this, but IMO, no contest. The Crawford, hands down. It's the proven one, and has had no issues. I'll get flamed for saying that, I'm sure, but darn it, it's true.
