If you have a REVUP engine, definitly use both the MREV2 and spacer together.
Much better gains.

The REVUP ECU seems to adapt to changes in A/F alot better than the previous ECU's. The older ECU's seem to adapt only up to a point and then they just stop.

For you folks whom have the MREV+ and spacer combo currently installed, I will post up my comments in about a weeks time with regard to swapping out the MREV+ for the MREV2.

Damn, I wish I could hear what your car sounds like Andy. You also have HKS and I am gonna go with the MREV2 + 5/16 inch spacer combo too. I would love to hear the difference.

After I installed the MREV+ and the 5/16" spacer, the intake and exhaust noise was much much louder and agressive sounding. After I installed the HKS, the car was a totally different animal . . . You know what I mean.

Then I swapped out the aftermarket drop-in filter and installed the Stillen HFAB and . . .

! After I install the MREV2, I plan on swapping out the K&N cone filter that came with Stillen and installing the popcharger cone filter. I plan on having some sort of tunable management unit installed soon. Then it's time for a mod break after a few cosmetic add-ons and suspension components. Whew! . . . Time to enjoy the summer.

even before installing the hks muffler for my sedan, the car made a deeper sound with the stock muffler after having the mrev+ put in.... with the hks rear muffler installed, it sounds sweet now.... i no longer envy the coupe's stock exhaust note anymore... sometimes i just go to idle the car for a few minutes just to listen to the exhaust note... sounds good without being too intrusively/annoyingly loud....

as for more gains with MREV2, my mouth is watering just thinking about it....

Is it early June yet?!??!!

I already LOVE the way my G sounds with the HKS/Z tube/JWT popcharger combo. I can't imagine how much louder and more aggressive sounding it is gonna be adding the MREV2 + 5/16 inch spacer combo. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Have you considered test pipes or HFC's Andy??
