Hey guys... Im planin in upgrading to a MREV2 or MREV+ on a non-revup 350z. Well... To start out, I already upgraded the plenum to a Kinetix V+. As we know, the Kinetix V+ increases volume inside the plenum., just as the MD 5/16 spacer. Agree? I hope you do. Well, after searching through the internet, many people recommend upgrading the lower plenum collector while many others don't. I plan to upgrade it pretty soon. After doing a lot of research I came across this on Motordyne website.
"I currently have the 2003 287hp motor with the kinetix upper plenum and i was wondering if a mrev2 or 5/16th spacer combined with the kinetix upper plenum would make a difference in power. the kinetix plenum is a little bigger than stock.
The MREV2 is an option, but because you already have a plenum spacer, it will add another 2-6 HP at various parts of the power curve. Predominantly in the midrange."

I truly believe that this is a good upgrade for non-revup VQ engines. I believe, but I can be wrong, that the ECU can compensate for its changes. Come on guys, its not like you are going FI by just upgrading the lower collector. LOL...Now as far for the bang for the bucks for 2 to 6HP... I don't think is that great of a deal but something is better than nothing. Plus having 2 to 6HP extra throughout the RPM range should be slight noticeable with other upgrades.
