Stock is hard to beat. Most aftermarket intakes gain little or nothing some lose. Spend your money on a plenum or a spacer. If you want noise I'd go with an exhaust.

If you are looking for gains, do not listen to anyone that tells you Z tube and k&n or pop-charger.

The 05 is NOT the 03-04. Those combos add some intake noise up top (above 4k rpms).

However, if you want gains, you have to spend more money and go with the MREV mod from Motordyne Engineering.

Mine is on the way. But if you look at the threads that talk about it, the gains are quite impressive.

Btw, I have the Z-tube and K&n on my 05, and only really notice a difference in sound above 4k RPM's at WOT.
Hi,
Can you or someone please tell me if the MREV mod can be used on the 2005 Coupe Auto version? I've already when through the tread on the MREV. It didn't seem to mention the compatibility of the kit to the Auto.

Thanks in advance

I second that as another 05 owner. Any gains are going to be very small but I do have a better sound with the ztube and stillen cai. I'm not sure the slight sound improvement is worth the money I spent, though. Hopefully, I will have some extra cash after holidays and taxes. If so, I plan on getting hooked up with Motordyne. It sounds like the only worthwhile mod to do for the 05 besides FI.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the MREV mods only for the 6AT (298hp) engines? -T

Mrev

first of all, the MREV is only for 05+ 6MT engines..
secondly, you can go to the modification reviews section to see more
about the MREV mod. It is basically an intake plenum mod (ask Tony from Motordyne for details lol) to provide you more midrange power and torque
with very minimal sacrafizing in the top end, and they are all dyno-proved.

Hope this helps,
Godmans

I have the MREV.

It only works ont he 05-06 6MT "rev up" motors because the MREV uses the regular factory lower intake plenum. That is why it won't work on the AT models or the 03-04 engines......you already have that lower plenum!!!!

The MREV adds about 30 ft-lbs of torque to the "revup" motor, but it drops abotu 3-5 hp above 6200 rpm. Basically, is a well worth it trade off.

The engine no longer bogs down at low rpms, and there is a huge kick around 4000 rpms!!! A low speed turn in 1st gear can now easily get sideways with the VDC off.

LOTS of FUN!!!
