I am voting for the Crawford plenum. I think that it looks alot better than the Kinetix plenum plus I would not trust the Kinetix plenum with FI.

Crawford all the way. A tried proven product with confirmed horsepower gains. IMO, this is the best bang for the buck out there.

I would vote for the Kinetix. Kinetix is coming out with an aluminum plenum from what I hear, it is supposed to work with OEM engine cover and should clear most aftermarket and oem strut bars, plus it would be safer for forced induction, and should look better.

Crawford all the way...I love mine, looks good in the blue powder coat too. Service was excellent and gains are noticible especially mid and top end.

No, you misunderstood. The aluminum would be safer than the plastic plenums for forced induction.

how much is a high rise strut bar gonna set me back...i'm assuming we have to replace our oem one. (ok ~200 just found out)

it looks really nice...much better/cleaner than crawford's

APS is impressing me

Kinetix. Don't like the idea of not using the factory engine cover or strut bar with the Crawford.

I went with Kinetix mainly for use with the stock strut bar and that plastic resists heat.

Crawford. Dont like the idea of having my ish crack while im driving.

Dont get me wrong, I am definitely not a Crawford sackrider, but I truely believe their plenum is a superior product. I have products from both companies on my car. Crawford plenum, Kinetix HF cats and traction/camber bars.
