MD 5/16 Plenum Spacer

$180 on amazon
Amazon.com: MOTORDYNE BASIC 5/16 INCH PLENUM SPACER FX35 350Z G35 M35: Automotive Amazon.com: MOTORDYNE BASIC 5/16 INCH PLENUM SPACER FX35 350Z G35 M35: Automotive

I am about to purchase it, just making sure this is legit. Because it seems really cheap compared to other sites.


EDIT:
Installed them today took about 30 minutes. Had one minor issue, suppose to use in/lb torque wrench but instead I used ft/lb torque wrench and just divided the feet to inch. First time I started the car the engine had a rough idle every 5 seconds or so. In the end I found the issue, the plenum bolts were still not tight enough. So I gave it a few more turns on each bolt and voila everything is working perfectly.

Your just getting a basic spacer, same as this. Except this is cheaper.
Also I've purchased 2 of these, for different cars and have never been disappointed

From the link on Amazon it's sold by OC Infiniti, which is a sponsor here, so it's legit. And so is Z1. Either one should work for you.

Just realized OC infiniti is around 15 minutes away, going to pick it up right now

Everyone is saying how they can feel the difference with butt-dyno, hopefully I will too.

5\16 is the size you want. 1\2 not as good as 5\16. I f you live in a warm climate you dont need throttle body heater.

Been flooring this car for the pass few days, I can definitely feel difference in low-mid RPM range.

Side note, why does every car feel like they want to race me?
