MotorDyne

as for the size 5/16 or 1/2 do some research on that. 5/16 gives you power all throughout the RPM range while 1/2 gives you more power at higher RPM's

do you have a g35 coupe? Do you have aftermarket strut bars on the engine? if you answer yes to the second question, then i dunno know if it will fit. I also did the 350z hr y pipe.

Another vote for Motor Dyne....=)

Well I guess I'll chime in with another MotorDyne spacer vote. If you get a upper strut bar that's adjustable like Richie's you won't have an issue with clearance. Some bars won't fit because they're not adjustable. I have the MotorDyne 1/2" spacer ISO with Richie's bar and it fits on my coupe....

Hell yes Slick growls, that's why we never leave the garage without having a good time. When I consider all the mods I've made
including 4 aftermarket exhaust system (two sponsored) the MotorDyne 1/2" spacer is the only one I consider the best value for
dollars spent performance wise. They all work together from Stillen's intake thru the MD spacer to the HKS exhaust for added HP
and the sound I love....

how much difference are you looking at when you're talkin 5/16 vs 1/2

I've been eyeing the MD 5/16 ISO for a little while noww.... I'm also wondering what money is involved with adding aftermarket struts and how that'd affect using the stock engine cover...
