Crawford also is also almost double the price if you add in the other cost factors. If you want to keep your stock plenum which many would like to do in case of warranty work then its an extra $200 right off the bat. Then you have to buy their strut bar. Another $150. Thats a total of $750 plus shipping which puts the total cost of almost $800 for a crawford plenum. Almost double what Kinetix is. Not to mention that most of the crawfords are fugly.

Crawford Plenum v1 Polished here running under 9+lbs of boost...
0 cracks
0 imperfections
0 headaches or worries whatsoever!
same performance gains
I believe Crawford is now on a v5, but not because the original designs were suffering failures...
I hope you guys can enjoy your Kinetex plenums without worry or unnecessary babysitting... in the meantime, I will be continuing to enjoy my worry free Crawford plenum!
BTW, I'm not in or near Nashville.

With the Kenitex you do need to keep your old plenum to put back when the plenum breaks. With the Crawford you don't. And hey, how you callin' fugly? You're fugly!

Dude f*** you first of all ok. Im not fugly, I get plenty of girls. That has never been a problem. I didnt call anyone fugly, I said the plenum is. Its my opinion, deal with it. And 2nd of all yes if you need warranty work done its nice to have your stock plenum handy instead of giving it to crawford.

How about the first post gets edited to let everyone know that it was not a crack?
For some reason I was bored enough to read this entire thread... had I not, then I would think that the V4 plenum is cracking and if anyone ever asked me I would say it cracks... and then there would be ******** floating around.
i dont care about anyones plenums currently on the market, but i think it would be proper courtesy if the first post was edited so that people who dont read 5 page long threads in their entirety will not be thinking that a V4 has cracked.

I agree, an edit is called for. I know I sure believed there was a crack untill I read on & did tests of my own on my own kinetix plenum......so far the v4 plenums are showing to be superior over the previos versions & no cracks as of yet!

put my ver 4 on today (yes the version one had to be replaced) and i am very happy. went on perfectly, all bolts lined up and went right in. having no center bolts was also a great change. Less under the plenum and more strength with the new set up.
obviously we have to wait to determine if this is the final version but all in all it went in very easy (less than one hour total install) and i was so confident all was fine I put the engine cover and strut back on prior to testing!
When I started up the car several hours later I got the service engine soon light so I started up my OBD II and hit the OFF button and the light went off just like that! it has not come back on either. That I have to thank Chazzg for because he supplied me with the OBD II for my Z-PC!
Anyway, all is well and the car runs just like with the Version 1 it is just a tad quieter than before but not really much different.
thanks kinetix for the fast support!

... I always get curious as to why some people get the CEL after the plenum swap. Did you by any chance check to see what error code it was tripping?
Did you diconnect the battery before performing the plenum operation? If so, did you reconnect the throttle body harness prior to reconnecting the battery (at the end of the operation)?
I'm not saying the above will lead to CEL condition ... simply curious.
