rickya Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Kinetix High Flow Cats: As the title says, would theyr be any advantage in a mini group buy between interested members from Kinetix USA or shall I just by it myself from Kinetix. Any ideas, comments..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 I personally would always go the solo route , then if you have any issues with quality of service / product etc. you wont have a middle man to worry about....IMO I dont think you'll get much more discount on a group buy anyway as Kinetix have reduced the price recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Cheers Tim Not too sure about the plenum?? Cost weighed up against amount of performance increase, plus cases of melting plenum covers ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its just cat back which is cool easier to fit myself too. So 350z setup, 2*manifold either side, 2*cats either side, joining pipe, single inter pipe, then into backbox.

Removed Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 headers are apparently a 5hr installation job... not sure they are worth it tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ob'Z'esed Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 not to sure on a thread you might need a more experienced z owner. if anyone does fancy a set but would like to go the solo route you can contact the same guy at that email address it will just be $460. so you would save about 30squid with the group buy. does someone more well known to everyone wana take over the group buy as im still a newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Val, Did Steve-B from the old site not fit headers ? Seem to remember the pictures of the shiny, twisty, bits of metal ? Were they not a complete and utter baitch to fit, and showed no gains ? I may be confusing with the UR Pulleys, but pretty sure he went for the headers as well ?

Removed Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 no Steve-B didn't have headers. But yeah they are bitches to fit (hence the 5 hrs job...) and afaik in the US not many people recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Oh, OK then - somebody definitely had them, I can visualise the pictures. Hmm, who could it have been ...........Dorian ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
