Warranty should not be an issue with regards to minor bolt on aftermarket parts like these. Warranty's - from what a couple of dealerships have told me directly - are only affected when the modifications or parts directly impact the the components covered by the warranty. so, for example, a cold air intake is not going to affect your transmission. an aftermarket muffler is not going to cause you to float a valve and trash your heads...
but you would likely have problems if you put aftermarket cams on your car, or a lightweight flywheel, etc... internals that directly impact the drivetrain.
But don't just take my word on it. best thing to do to eliviate your concerns is to call a dealership directly and talk to a service manager. tell him/her what you are planning on doing, and let them decide. or send an email to Infiniti NA. they have a pretty good customer service department that should be able to give you the final word. then when they say it's cool print that email out and put it in your glovebox!
we are a distributor for Motordyne and we're still offering shipping deals on the Motordyne products if anyone is interested. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you're interested and if you have any other questions.

case in point.. i had an intake and a blowoff valve on my srt-4 and the clutch and flywheel "exploded".. they blamed it on my intake.. the car has 3800miles on it. yeah its not right.. but for the most part, they can say what they wont when ur playin in their field...

. and to the other guy.. lol.. dont be scurred, that wasnt my intentions.. point being that it depends alot on the dealer.. and "no matter what they say" it does make a difference where you buy the car and/or have it serviced as to the way the treat you if you ever need their help! My advice.. even if u can do the oil changes urself.. it would be a good idea to take it in a couple times and let them jack u for some of ur $.. cuz down the line, if ur modding they be a lil more at liberty to look past that. But w/ that plenum, i think it would be pretty hard to point blame.. since "most likely" they wont kno its there..

yes, this mod is made for 05 and 06 6MT.
As far as warranty goes I have not had any problems. My brought my car in for clutch work (the clutch linkage and pedal assembly needed to be replaced) and the service manager asked me what I had in my plenum (he noticed). I told him and he asked for the name of the company and ordered one for his G35.
As far as FI goes: From what I have heard this mod is awesome for FI. It allows more air to be forced into the engine, which is the focus of FI.
GTT: I will try and clarify the options for you. The first you listed is the base MREV. This is the basic 04 lower plenum with the 5/16 spacer. The second option is the Copper MREV. This provides you with the same as the basic MREV but it gives a copper plate that goes in between the throttle body and the plenum. This is highly recomended for climates where the temp can reach below 55 degrees F. If you do not go this route, then you will ahve to cut into an engine hose and install a valve that you will have to open and close in corresponadance to the temperature. It will be an easy turn of a screwdriver to turn the valve on and off, but you should ask yourself if it is worth it to have to go into your engine bya every time the temp goes below 55 degees. Again, the copper is simply a luxury if you live in a place where the temp rarely or never goes below 55. The MREV plus is an option that you can add to either the base MREV or the copper MREV. It gives a upgraded lower plenum from the 04 with machined runners to give a little extra power in the top RPMs. I got the Copper MREV Plus, and it was a breeze to install and I love it. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
