Plenum question!

So after almost a year of having my coupe and im finally about to get exhaust and intake.....hopefully installed real soon.....But besides that my car is bone stock as of now, If i was to also get a plenum spacer and z tube, would it increase performance even more? Or should i just leave the exhaust and intake alone for now? Thanks

Hmmm . . . I would start out with a Z tube/drop-in filter combo and a MotorDyne spacer. This will afford you a nice boost in hp and tq. For some, the increase in sound from these mods is plenty and they opt not to get an exhaust. Perhaps, you might consider the Motordyne MREV+.
What are the particulars for your G?

Im assuming your g's and 03-04, so I would say get the spacer. Its a mod you will notice. Z-tube wont increase power all that much but def. sound better.

I'd take the money for the exhaust and get high flow cats and headers instead. Stock exhaust is plenty good from what I've read. Correct me if I'm wrong. For the intake side I'd get the spacer and drop in filter instead. You'll notice the spacer more than the new intake.

I'd grab the Crawford Z Car cast plenum and high flow cats. Those two mods alone will increase your power while a Z-tube and exhaust system is just for those wanting more noise or a different exhaust sound from their car.

SCREW INJEN cold air. it made my car run like crap. i have drag raced it in many many different conditions. my best times are with the stock air box with a KnN. i would get the Z tube just to get rid of the extra resonators in your intake pipe.

the injen cold air made me lose 1.5 mph in the last 1/8th on the 1/4 mile...


get the motordyne spacer and KnN. its cheaper and works better

+1 . . . The Motordyne plenum spacer affords more air to get into the intake ports. Now, the Z tube and a high flow drop-in filter element gets more air into the plenum.
