Thread headed the wrong direction....!

OMG, this member is looking for the best value for his $ as we all do....are you
with me? He has an '05 coupe with a REVUP motor that's stock, for a few
more $ he could get MotorDynes MREV2 & 5/16" spacer ISO. Or if someone
is selling theirs on MARKETPLACE he'll have $ left over for a K&N drop in
filter. The direction this thread was headed I expected someone to
volunteer Hawk HP pads.... Since when does an AT mean your G is
slow?

Actually the 5AT is just a VQ35DE, not the VQ35DE Rev-up. Spacer is the best bet.

I also have a 2005 coupe AT, from experience your best bet would be:

-Stock Z-Tube $80.00
-Drop-in K&N Filter $50.00
-MD 5/16 ISO Thermal Plenum Spacer $260.00
-Stillen Grounding Wires $100.00
-Strup Test Pipes $150.00


Total= $640

That is what I paid for those parts brand new, and if you can install them all yourself then you have no installation fees. They are all very simple to install except the test pipes.

If you want to stay under $600 you can do pretty much all of the parts I listed.
