HassanZ Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I used to have them on my previous Zed. Sounded nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Have them on mine and have no complaints. Quite a few peeps on here have heard my setup and have generally had good comments. You'll get a bit of rasp from 2.5-3k rpm... but you will with any non resonated HFC's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 For the price of them, plus postage costs, plus any customs tax it would be much more sensible to get the Berks HFC's from Tarmac Sportz for probably the same price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I used to have them on my previous Zed. Sounded nice! Did they get through a MOT OK..? Yes mate it flew through MOT testing. I got my MOT done at CS. I remember Andy leaving my Zed running for a bit prior to testing, I'm assuming it's because the warmer the engine becomes, the lower the emissions it will release, just to ensure it passes the MOT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Not a bad deal this..? http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_350Z_and_G35_intake_plenum_high-flow_cat_package.aspx Would stay away from their plenum...if I remember correctly - it's too thin and flexes quite a lot with revs... Will try to find that video 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Not saying you're wrong Vlad, but pretty sure Keyser's car had a Kinetic plenum? Seemed to work ok on his, but I guess early ones might have had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Yea, true that mate! May be just as you said - the early ones or something! Can't find that video...but it was basically someone revving engine slightly and plenum was flexing pretty bad... Unless I'm confusing it with another make plenums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm confusing it with another make plenums When I was looking into possibly changing my plenum it was the first versions from what I could see that had this issue. Think they're on about version 5 or something now. If they haven't sorted out their issues by now I'd be worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvinwilson1 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm not completely sure about this but I think the Kinetix HFC don't have mounting points like what the Berks HFC have?? Just another thing to consider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon da silva Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 pretty sure Keysar was running the APS Plenum.. not that plastic one from kinetix.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm not completely sure about this but I think the Kinetix HFC don't have mounting points like what the Berks HFC have?? Just another thing to consider You're right, but anyone worth their salt will be able to add some mounting brackets when fitting. Abbey did so to mine and I've had no problems with them at all. They are also a lot lighter than the OEM cats, so you could probably get away without the brackets. pretty sure Keysar was running the APS Plenum.. not that plastic one from kinetix.. I think you're right, now that I come to think of it! I'm sure someone somewhere has run one without issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
