Opinions Please.

And Im gonna give you some of mine...

Read my sig. for mods thus far.

Gonna get the Fast Intentions Stainless Steel cat back system along with Fast Intentions 300 cell Metallic cats, along with the MotorDyne MREV2.

About the Skunk2, the motorDyne might be the **** right now on these forums but the Skunk2 is made of superior composite materials that reduce heat as well or better that MD.

You guys like? eh?

I got the Skunk2 also. It's the tallest spacer you can find, thus giving more power.

bigger is not always better. if that were true, people would be pairing the mrev2 w/ the 1/2" spacer. imo, the skunk2 spacer - whether it's "made of superior composite materials" or not - is just way too big.

if that's were the case, i'd fab my own 1" spacer. there's plenty of room under the hood.

If you think the skunk is better and you already have it then why would you get the md?

he's not replacing his spacer - just adding mrev2.

op - why not slap on dc sports ss headers while you're at it?

Yeah, headers came up too, just don't think their an important mod if I am correct in thinking that the OEM headers are pretty darn effecient. Plus the whole factor of installation of headers. Too much of a nightmare right now.

I'd go with DC or STRUP when I do it.

Anyone with any advice why I shouldnt do these mods? Any bad experiences with any?

Motordyne has done tons of research and there is a reason they didn't go above 1/2" on their spacer. I would trust them.

Sounds good but leave the headers till the very end. Probably won't need them.

Factory hearders are efficient and well built, BUT, teh VQ sounds MUCH better with a set of aftermarket headers
