MotorDyne spacers are the most popular around here, and for good reason.
IMO, a spacer is one of the best bangs for your buck. But for "the money" you can get a Skunk2 5/8 spacer for $180 and it has the cooling characteristics of the expensive thermal spacer kits, since it is not metal. I can run really hard and still place my hand on top of the plenum and its only warm to the touch.
I love my Skunk2 5/8 spacer, it feels like a 10 shot of NOS at the top end. lol

Im not understanding your sarcasim w0ady. Can you please rephrase your comment?

I just stated that MD is more popular, and In My Opinion the Skunk2 spacer is a better cost "bang for the buck" than a more expensive ISO thermal spacer. No where did I imply a spacer is better than a even more expensive Plenum replacement. Jeez...

if anyone can find some comparison independent plenum spacer dynos that has the skunk2 included. id be all over that, like a fat kid on a cupcake.

Nothing with the Skunk, but MD's website has a reprint of the charts from Sport Z Magazine's shootout between APS, MD, Crawford, and Kinetix.

I've spoken to a lot of people here, and most of them have advised me to go with MREV 2 + plenum spacer. However, I called Everythingg35.com and spoke to Mike. He said that the headers will give me better performance and more HP, but it's way harder to install than the MREV 2 and spacer.
Please,,,,,,,,,,,,, what do you guys REALLY think I should do??? I'm planning to do this next February!!!
Any comments will be HIGLHY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
Me personally..I have the MREV2 + 5/16 coming in on Tuesday. Will be installed on Thursday with dyno pulls.

My buddy on his 05 6-mt with the same setup pulled 18 extra ponnies with
22ft lbs of Tq. Not bad numbers for what hes got. All stock except for
what I mentioned...even running the OEM airbox!

Easy decision if it was me

Will I be losing some low end torque with MREV2 + 5/16 SPACER??? I noticed that after I installed the Stillen exhaust I lost some low end torque and gained more high end torque. I will be honest with you.... I will rather gain some low end torque rather than high end. Thank you!
