Not sure if this has been posted but its new to me. I did a search and did not find anything. Looks pretty nice.

Cast in light weight alloy and then precision machined, the APS plenum pumps-up the internal plenum volume and delivers the optimum distribution of air to each inlet trumpe

i wonder if it clears the stock strut bar??

 

By the looks of one of the pictures on the website, I seriously doubt this thing will clear a strut bar. Something about the name "tall-boy" plenum also backs this up

 

I would have to strongly agree with you on this one. But it is another choice for the people that do not mind losing their strut bar.

yeah 4 that i can think of right now.

 

i would assume nismo would come out with one including a strut bar for clearance issues...at least i'm hoping

 

that does not sound cheap... if Crawford is $395, then I can only imagine that APS will probably double that price.. but competition can drive the price down..

 

Is it just me but do I see the plenum slopping downwards like the stocks?

 

APS is guessing the price will be around $375 with no core exchange.

how come no one every does a full intake manifold?

well i mean a more main stream one, how come crawford or kentix or aps just make a whole new intake manifold instead of just the upper one.

 

That looks pretty slick. Can't wait for performance numbers

 

when you start talking about replaceing the runners of the lower manifold you start getting serious, increasing volume is all well and good, some are better than others but you really cant screw up... lower plenum you gotta start doing R&D if you want it to do N/A.

turbo, whatever, it doesnt matter, could strap an eggplant on there and itll perform. but to tune a lower plenum for N/A is alot of work; and easy to fail.

 

Kinetix is currently working on an aluminum intake that replaces both upper and lower plenums. It is originally designed to be used for FI applications, but they are currently working to achieve gains for NA cars. They have stated that price will be somewhere around $700.

I'll let the Kinetix one stay out on the market for a few months before if touches my car.

 

Who has numbers on this? Which other 4 companies are coming out with plenums??

$375 is not a bad price at all and you get to keep your stock.

 

thanks ares, just the kinda informative answer i was looking for. Reason for my asking is because all them honda and 4 bangers have like skunk2, and all those brands making them a new intake manifold while we are just stuck on improving the upper part of the intake manifold. I though we should focus on the lower and upper.

The APS penlum is fabulous! I would buy that alone just for looks

 

I was told any questions regarding price and shipment should be directed to MRC out of New Jersey. Here is a link
