are plenum prices going to drop at all (crawford or kinetix)?....when i mean drop will they drop before dec. 25?....xmas time?.....or any holiday specials?

 

why??

 

because the demand could lessen, its holiday time so maybe they will offer a deal, its not as new, etc

 

how much drop do are you looking for? $250 for plenum?

 

The way I see it, they seem like pretty good deals now. Especially the Kinetix (that is if you're not worried that it might crack on you, which none of the new versions seem to ). Crawford you gotta send them your core plenum or pay extra $$.

 

more are coming, Id expect to see a full aluminum replacement out within 3 months for <500$; maybe a lot less.

 

replacement for what?

 

Dude, read the thread title! Plenums, aka intake manifolds.

 

yeah replacement plenum, like kinetix is a full replacement, crawford isnt.

 

what do u mean kinterix is a full replacement and crawford isnt? the v5 is a completeley new welded plenum like kinterix's. crawford just dosent slap on a piece of sheet metal over the last 2 cylinders anymore

 

Are you saying that kinetix is replacing ALL their plastic plenums with aluminum? Is that what you mean by "FULL replacement"?
BTW, kinetix' latest version of plenums is cracking, too, in some Zs.

 

neither is a complete replacement both are just upper intake manifolds, there is currently nothing offered to replace the lower intake manifolds. the prices are dropping. crawford used to be priced at 500. if you get in on a group buy the kinetix has gone as low as 360. which i think is the lowest youll ever see it.

 

I meant, kinetix ships you a peice of plastic that goes on your car. crawford is still "slapping a peice of aluminum on there" but their much more clever about it and it looks much better. but still, they take yours, theirfore they arent replacing it, they are modifying it.

I didnt know kinetix v4 was cracking, I know there was 1 false report.

 

Our 350z Intake Manifold has been completed and it does clear the stock strut tower bar. The performance testing will be finished this week along with a pricing schedule for less then $600

 

how many v4's have cracked and how bad?

 

Do you have any pictures, does it still look the same as the prototype version?

 

We took some pics of the SPEED FORCE RACING intake manifold last night. SSR is just some kid trying to do big things. Call Speed Force Racing or go to http://www.speedforceracing.com/ We talked to the owner last night. Price is looking like about $1k but the stuff does look nice. they had one for a G and one for a Z. The Z one is different and yes the stock strut bar was still on the Z and there was about 2-3" of room between it and the manifold. Numbers are coming soon. Stock their G put down 244 so we'll see what it does. BTW they also brought THEIR turbo RX-8...quite sick. Once again i'd talk to Speed Force about it. they are actually making/testing/manufacturing the plenum.

 

APS will be realeasing their cast plenum by September.$375 no core charge.

 

asays its available but their out of their minds 1100$. unless they have some proof to back up their claims, it would have to gain substantially more HP than other makers.

 

It does look like the prototype version, however it is shorter and bulkier and clears the stock strut tower bar
