You mod at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable in doing so . . . I would suggest getting a Z Tube and a K&N Filter. However, that may potentially void your warranty, as well.
I am, by nature, quite courteous to all queries. I rarely, if at all, get snippy with questions . . . As most have seen.

Sorry guys, I havent checked up on this thread in a couple of days, been busy. To answer some questions about the snapped bolt, it was entirely my fault. The engine was cool and I was screwing a bolt back into place. I overtorqued it and it snapped. Just make sure you use a lb-in. torque wrench. With the missing piece, it was just a fluke that it was missing. I have not seen any threads saying any pieces were missing. I called Tony right away, and he said I could continue with the install, and he even overnighted me the piece. Great service Tony!
The fact that the mod is expeneive is due to the amazing results it comes with. This is most deffinitly the most effective mod for the money I have seen. Headers also provide a great performance increase for a similar price (about 250 more on average), but the install is MUCH more involved. I greatly recommend the COPPER ISO thermal MREV PLUS. The modified lower collector will give you even more power on the top end.
You will not be dissapointed with this mod. If you live in a climate where the temp will go below 55 degrees F, you should invest in the Copper ISO thermal. The copper throttle body heater is easy to install, and will not force you to cut into hose of your engine. Good luck with future buys and installs!

I'm sorry, but i've learned that there aren't many mods that are sold that'll add such amounts of performance to a car, and when i see that these are just spacers, it sounds very very fishy. Especially with a simple bolt on that seems like that all that's required is removing the engine cover, putting the spacers in, and bolting the cover back on.

There is also the Iso Thermal for thermal management of the plenum assembly. Iso Thermal doesn't add power, but it does help reduce power loss as the engine becomes hot.
And yes, most mods don't make a huge difference when NA. But MREV is probably the only exception to the general rule. Many people are literally dynoing 20 HP and 30 TQ @ 4500 RPM with significant gains across much of the RPM band.

Nothing fishy about this mod. If you ever go onto Mustang or Camaro forums, you'll find that on the 03+ Cobras, removing the filter and air silencer will give you 15+hp and 20+lb tq, and it's almost the same with the Camaro SS.
My point being is that manufacturers do sometimes leave hp locked up due to manufacturing processes or legal restrictions. On the Z, the intake was designed as such so that they would have the necessary clearance under the hood, and because the Z got this treatment, the G did as well.
If you're a skeptic of this mod, then you should check out the grounding wires for this motor. You'll never believe that one even though it does make a difference.

06' G35's both the AT and MT have the REVUP engine.

MREV is for 05+.........right?
Looks like I'll have to go for the 1/2" spacer for my '04. Can't wait
