I pick one up from Tony Today (hell of a nice guy, and his wife is great also)

I wanted to the install, cause it takes my mind off work to have hobby stuff.

The install went flawlessly, I did it myself in less than 40 minutes.

In short, YES it fit and worked on my '05 coupe flawlessly....

As well others have answered this, so YES it works, and fits on the '05.

hey Sickone,

thanks for the feedback, it's what i've been looking for. what are your first impressions on low end torque? that is where I am hoping to see some difference...I am not really looking at just adding high end,wot hp, which I would rarely get to use.

thanks again for the feedback

Based on my impression only - no dyno data (there has been plenty, and has shown over all good results through out the RPM range)

I would say there is a little improvement through out the entire range
as far as 'punch'.

It is one of the reasons I liked what I read about this mod.
So many mods add noise, or high end WOT power only, and even sometimes
rob the low end to do it.

This was a win win for sure.

I second that. The only reason that got me think twice from getting Crawford plenum is several members here who installed it said there's noticeable loud knocking sound from the engine bay.
Personally, I'm already past the age that needed loud engine and exhaust "noise". What I want right now is performance with normal sound byte as close to original as possible. In my opinion, spacer from Motordyne achieved just that.
Although I have not done any dyno, my butt dyno tells me there's less restriction in airflow especially during WOT, which means revving higher RPM is faster. I also noticed increase in MPG. (See my previous post from this subject if anyone is interested) Of course, those are just my opinions....

As an update to my comments....

I noticed a solid little bit of punch after doing the mod, happy, happy.

Today it struck me that I had not reset the ECU, I thought I wonder if it will make a difference.... OMG.... if you do the mod, reset your damn ECU

The ECU will adapt after 50-100 miles anyway. You'll notice that the car will also run a little lean for that same amount of time after you add your Crawford cats, I'm guessing.
Ah, but I just saw that you have an '05. Not sure about it then.

I installed my 1/2" spacer last Wednesday. This thing definietly changes the car. There is a noticeable torque improvement in the lower rpms. I got some new 18" wheels with 245/40-18 Kuhmo Ecsta MX tires which are real sticky a while back. I used to easily break loose with the sport 17s and Goodyear GS-Ds. Once I got the new wheels/tires that pretty much stopped. Well now with the spacer I really have to watch it starting when out or I will break loose again.

I just got back from a 500 mile round trip which included some nice curvy and mountainous Arizona roads. Man was that a fun drive, and I my impression was that passing was just a little more fun.

The car just seems to pull harder and smoother.

61 Inch Pounds?
For those of you that installed the plenums did you torque them to 61 inch pounds like the directions said? It seemed like it wasnt tight enough but so far so good.

I am getting an SES light but I installed Cats and Exhaust at the same time of Plenum mod so Im just thinking its from them and not the plenum. I guess Ill have more info once I get the codes pulled.
