    Default 350z Upgrades???

    let's play a little game on IA. lol. What's A Good Mod For A 350z for around...500ish that would make it sound and perform more aggressive?
    Here's the catch, something that the installation could be done simply..if you can't think of anything all that simple, it's ok...

    MD MREV2 Manifold + Spacers . If you have Rev-Up motor.

    MD Spacers Only if you have Non Rev-Up.

    You will gain minimum 15whp

    test pipes are the pipes that are in between the headers and the exhaust with no cats, in the V8 world that would be called an off road Y/X pipe.

    with a 5/16 plenum spacer you can keep your strut bar, i did on my old Z.

    ok so 25wheel from not cats and exhaust and intake and plenum... the 15whp is not coming from the plenum. i gained 5 peak from my crawford. the exhaust aka test pipes is the biggest thing and coupled with the borla both is where most of your power came from like 15hp from that. and the other 10 was the intake and spacer. since the pop is a real 6whp and since i got 5-6 wheel form the plenum we can just say 10 from the intake mods.

    remember where i worked chad... i know the ins and out of that motor and whats good and whats not and where the power comes from.

    rev-up cams

    forget the stage 2 clutch (whatever that means) and cobb tuning. not worth the money.
