Motordyne vs Skunk2 plenum spacers
 

What's the difference? Pro's or Con's with each? Noticable gains with the Skunk2. I'm particularly interested in non-rev-up engine spacers. The reason I ask this is because there is a small difference in price.

skunk2 = horrible fitment, quality and everything

MD = god

if you don't buy from MD your penis will fall off.

^^ haha thats perfectly said

This is true. there a few guys here who bought skunk.. now we have a few more chicks!
in all seriousness, i havnt seen any dyno info on the skunk. however, MD has all the goodies right on thier page. my MREV comes wednesday.. PSYCHED!!!

Can anybody tell me what's the benefits of the Motordyne isothermal spacer over the basic spacer? They both claim the same HP increase (11-13hp). Thanks.

I have heard a few bad reviews about the skunk2 spacer.
I have only heard gread reviews on the motordyne spacer.

I have it and I def. feel the difference on the freeway.
Do a search and you should find some great info on these.

iso thermal keeps it cooler and is cool ^_^

I understand that it keeps it cooler but if it doesn't give more HP then is it worth it, given that it cost more? Does it give any other benefits? Thanks for the reply.

Read thier entire site, it spells it all out for you, to answer your question.

the site reads as no affect on hp, ask them....

Hi Guys,

Iso Thermal doesn't add power per say, it prevents power loss from heat soak. Heat soak is what you get after a long drive, if you are stuck in traffic or at the track.

Check out the Copper link below to see a lot of Q and A on the subject.

what happens if you have the iso thermal (non-copper) and leave the valve closed all the time? esp. if it drops to -40degrees outside (but you arn't driving it then). Anythign bad?

You will have a really rough idle, but that won't happen till it's more like 30 degrees for more then 2 hours.

I am in the same dilema
 

I am ready to order but deciding whether to get the iso thermal or not, I live in NYC, do I need it? Is the valve easy to adjust or annoying? Do I need to open and close it often or just every season? I would imagine the install with the iso thermal is more difficult?

you just need to turn it w/ a long-shaft screwdriver. not too much of an inconvenience. i would get it just because before, touching the plenum after a hard run was unbearable because of the heat; now I can touch it w/o burning myself
