The generally only recommed doing both on a non-revup engine is if:
1) Your A/F ratio is good. (If this is good it will make about 4-6 more HP in the midrange.)
and
2) You are either a hard core racer or a dyno junkie.

OTOH if you have a REVUP engine, its just the opposite, I almost always recommend doing both.

Quick question, is this the 5/16" kit you purchased?

It seems like much of that was from the exhaust. What do you mean by "exhaust?" Did you do headers, test pipes, cat back?
NVM, I trolled around and found another thread of yours with dyno. The results seem consistent with what I saw above.

The graph below is the Stillen full cat-back on my '06 G35 6MT vs the OE cat-back.

Lolly Baggins, yup that's the one I'm running.
Paniller, for this test we only installed a catback exhaust. I have, however, subsequently installed headers and high-flow cats, but those came a few months after we did the intake mods including the MotorDyne stuff and the Stillen intake and catback true dual exhaust.
haagen_daz, I never drove the car with just the MotorDyne mods since we tested some other parts on the dyno that same day, but given that the plenum spacer does increase the overall volume of the plenum it might deepen the sound of the intake charge a bit by virtue of changing the resonance or harmonics of the overall intake tract and the plenum/manifold itself. Tony from MotorDyne can tell you more about sound if you shoot him an e-mail.

On a REVUP engine the MREV2/spacer combo will change the engine sound substantially. Its louder, deeper and easily noticed.

Correct me on this.. I have an 05 6MT.
so the MREV2's are made from an 04 lower plenum, and the top of each intake is shaved down to give better flow...
wouldnt adding a spacer to a revup engine give similar clearance over the top of each induction tube(or whatever the correct name is) so it would be pretty similar to having a revup with the MREv2 lower plenum and no spacer ?
but you get better overall gains by having even more clearance with both ?
