The long term test and force induction test is what I am not sure about. I originally bought the first production Kinetix plenum, I followed the instruction and was very careful, but it cracked.. returned it, got version 2, not more than a week, cracked. I got fed up of installing, and uninstalling, and decided I don't want the mod anymore with all these uncertainty and trouble it has been. Kinetix has been very helpful, and even refunded my money.
Now that I have been without the plenum, I have an itch to buy one again very soon.. Just not sure if it will be Kinetix or not..

I am getting ready to install FI. Have V1 on my "Z" with no problems! However, with FI going on Kinetix exchanged V1 for V3. "Z" is in the body shop, so V3 was not going on until Monday or Tuesday. After reading "Z1 Performance" post on "cracked", I since Kinetix/jamisonl and e-mail.
He responded saying "Z1 Performance" had V2. So, V3 is going on followed by Vortech SC.

Now, I don't have a Kinetix plenum yet, but it's moving up the mod list at the moment. I was just wondering, are these things poured, injection molded or what? Could someone lay a sheet of fiberglass or nylon or whatever in the mold as they are made so that they don't crack?
Don't know if that would help or anything, but I do know you use resin + glass with body work for strength vs just resin for filler.

This gives ample clearance to the bar and plenum. after words, I closed the hood. (I didn't drop it, I gently closed it to the catch, then pressed it down the rest of the way until it was closed) It fits fine, no bending of the hood at all. If you look inside the hood, there are pads on the inside that sit against the strut bar anyway, you are just compressing them a little more. Give my $1 fix a chance before you drop $200.
I also agree, about not using the rear bolts on the engine cover, it fits snug with no vibration w/o the rear bolts.

Duh you didnt think of adjusting it right? Why did you just cut the engine mounts instead?

Just got my v3 and it is a much better design than V2. I like how it uses aluminum post instead of the plastic ones. Also the inserts on the bolt holes are much better.

Kinetix got me my V3 after my V2 cracked in time for my driving school at Brainerd Int. Raceway and I installed on Sat. and after 2 days and many runs up to 135, no cracks. Thanks Jamison!

mine cracked at the 2 center mounting holes....had been fine for about a month and around 4k miles, but happened to peak at it the other day and nopticed the harilines. Car idled fine, drove fine, but I put the stock one back on this past weekend.
I got a chance to see a V3 at our local Saturday night Z meet the same night mine cracked (this past weekend), and it is much much beefier, particularly in the center where mine cracked.

Knowing that yours was a V2 that cracked and now that you have seen the V3, do you have intentions of contacting Kinetix and getting / installing a V3?
