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

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...

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 have a 2006 6MT coupe with a Stillen dual cat back exhaust and a K&N CAI. I am so NOT sure if my next upgrade should be the Stillen headers or MREV2 + plenum spacer.
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!!!

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
