To my knowledge, the coupes have the same engines from 05-07.

Should fit without a problem.

Yes, it will fit 05-07 coupes and 05-06 sedans. However, you will not notice any increase in performance without the MREV2 lower plenum.

Synthetic fluids will probably show more effect than the blox spacer. You could also reset the ECU and throttle release and drive like a grandma

Technically, no, but the MREV2 and the automatic lower plenum collector are slightly different. The MREV2 has is Ported and Polished for flow improvement.

Oh...wait...I'm not Joe.

I would contact Tony over at Motordyne. Ask him what the true benefits of swapping out the lower collector on your G are going to yield.

Their site makes a bunch of claims for the REVUP engine. They don't say much about the non revup other than that you get a $100 core exchange.

Part of the issue with the plenums is that there are two grades. I was talking to Tony at Riverside Infiniti (different Tony) and he said that you can have two of the same part number but one will be very smooth and the other will be like sand paper. As such, the gains from moving to the MREV2 will likely be dependent on which you have.

This is a good question, but I'm going to have to agree with SBD. While Motordyne explicitly mentions that the REVUP engine will benefit from the MREV2 lower plenum, it doesn't specify the auto version.

Talk to the motordyne guys...
