I need some more juice!
O.k guys I have a 05 6mt coupe and I am feeling the need to add a bit more juice to my engine. Not looking for a huge jump in horse power; however, would be satisfied with about 25 t0 35HP more with added torque. My budget is about $1500 for parts. What are the parts I should buy to get me there? After my research this is what I come up with so far...
1)MREV
2)Z-Tube and K&N Filter
3)(crawford)New Plenum or Spacer aka intake manifold
4)Cold Air Intake...(is this the same as crawford plenum?)
Do these parts I listed above get me what I'm looking for? If not, what do you guys suggest and in what order?
Thanks!

Better do this first for NA.
1) Mrev+ or Mrev2
2) exhaust System (Headers -> HFC or Test Pipe -> exhaust)

I'm a bit confused...you say I won't need the plenum spacer if I get the mrev2;but, it clearly says here that it's recommended.
Here is the discription for Mrev 2 on everythingg35.com..."The power gains on a 298hp REV-Up motor are similar to the earlier MREV kits, when used with a 5/16" spacer kit. The 5/16" Spacer is recommended for the REV-Up engines as it will help safely increase power, when used with the MREV2 collector. This setup averages 15+hp and 18+ft.lbs in the upper midrange (approx 4500-5000rpms). Many independent tests have shown even higher gains as well!"

/\ I haven't gotten my self updated with NA stuff but as far as I know Mrev2 is just another modified Lower collector just like Mrev+. to max every power Mrev2 or Mrev+ plus a spacer does the trick. If you just buy the Mrev kit this already come with the spacer. MREV2 was develop so that Non-Revup motor can take advantage of the new lower collector but it still work with Revup motor also. Like I said I haven't looked at NA stuff.

O.k I did some more research and found out that I will not need MREV2. From what I understood it's for previous year manifolds. Bear with me I'm not a mechanic. Anyway, I can stay with the Mrev that comes w/the plenum spacer which will probably give me about 15-18hp. Or I can just get the Motordyne 5/16" Iso Thermal Plenum Spacer Kit, which in turn will just give 11-13HP. Probably save me about $250 if I take that route. Not much of difference in HP. Then I add a true dual exhaust-11-15hp, w/ the Injen Cold Airintake kit another 8-11hp, and grounding wire kit-3hp. All that under $1700 with an increase of about 35HP give or take. I think I can swing that!

Understood...Although, I thought upgrading the Exhaust would get you more HP. I'm just trying to get a bang for my buck. I'd be happy if I can get up to 20HP for under 2k. Headers sounds like the way to go, but, I'll have to wait on that. Using the rest of the money for exterior mods.

You can count the hp 'gains' from an intake or exhaust or spacer all day long, but the only mod you're actually going to feel are the Crawford headers. The stock intake with Z tube is already maxed out, and you don't need an exhaust with an N/A setup. While you're at it, get the Crawford cats too, or straight pipes. You can find a set of used Crawford headers and cats and have them installed all for under $1800.

You can pick up a set of Crawford cats for $350 used, the install at my local Infiniti dealer is around $600-700 (essentially the cat install will be for free). That's a total of $1700-1800.
