What happened to the Motordyne Engineering 3/8" plenum spacers?

thanks guys
thanks guys
People, weather it's an after market plenum i.e. Crawford, Kinetix, or Motordyne spacer - DEFINALETLY DO IT!!!!
I chose the stealth look of the spacer - have done well on the track and dyno. I'm am NOT paid OR sponsored (although I'm open)...
271hp (AT sedan) - of all my mods, honestly MD 1/2" spacer has made the most notable difference. Butt dyno and Dynapack have proved it!
All above observations were pre-ECU ... The only thing I've gained from TS ECU is higher rev at track. (Never needed in even the most spirited daily diving conditions)

G-force has one ('05 MT sedan.)
Not sue if Chico has his done yet ('05 AT sedan)
Balzz had one & removed to autocross. ('05 MT coupe)
Search a few threads for more info.
I think the consensus is that '05 ATs give the best results
I have one on my '04 & love it.....

I was being lazy 
I found a thread that Hydrazine had posted "On VLEO8181's 05 6MT G35 Coup the results were ZIP, ZERO, NADA! " (https://g35driver.com/forums/showthr...ht=spacer+2005)
The only variable was the Long Ingen CAI, it may be a variable.
I can respect a vendor that is open about results...even if it means cutting off some of it's perspective buyers.

Stay tuned re the thermal isolator.
It should provide benefits to ALL models

Or how do I indicate that I want the thermal stuff when I buy it via the website?

That's the spacer price only.
(5/16 to keep cover)

Cool Thanx for your help guys.
How's the sound with one of these installed?
I heard the engine sounds deeper.

I presume you've done your homework re: '05 MT gains
