Plenum spacer questions

i just ordered my pop charger (with heat shield) for my 06 g coupe and i was wondering if i should get a spacer, ive been reading threads on here and people are very happy with the results..

so here are my questions:
1) is it worth it?
2) how much would it cost
3) do i have to do any tuning after its installed?
4) how hard is it to install?


thanks for the help...

1) yes
2) depends what you get - motordyneengineering.com for rough prices
3) drive it like you stole it
4) yes

if youre a 6mt, then dont bother with just a spacer. get mrev2 while youre at it.

if youre a 5at, then just get the spacer.

There is a lot of info in the threads on the first few pages of the tech section under the engine, drivetrain reviews.

It is worth the $$ and you can DIY while you have things apart for the intake install.

mrev2 + 5/16" spacer will yield the best gains for you though. save up for it. don't rush things..

I have the aam spacer. They claim 15 addition hp too. Haven't had the car dynoed to confirm, but you definately feel the difference w/ a spacer.

I'll be selling the aam spacer soon if you're interested.

imo, you should finish one project before moving on to the next.

do either exhaust/cats/test pipes first or spacer/mrev2
