I assume you have a 6 speed manual?

If you're auto, then the MREV2 is going to yield very small gains. You'd be better with a spacer alone on the auto.

The rest of the list looks pretty good. I personally haven't heard or used the Borla, but they have a good name.

That's a great start. I'm personally not a fan or the Borla exhaust for the G35. It's a little too loud and borderline "ricey" for my personal taste. But to each his own.

Are you buying the grounding wires from Nate (Sentientbydesign)? So far everyone who has purchased his kit seems to be quite happy.

Nate, are you sure about that? Where did hear that?

Also MB86...another mod that I got that I was very happy with is a strut bar from GTSpec. It's an affordable mod and I noticed a better response in my G's handling even though I have my winter tires on.

I HIGHLY recommend calling Joe at everythingg35.com. He is incredibly helpful and offers great customer service!

Good luck!

thats alot for the help. if the borla sounds a little "ricey" then i will go with something else. i am not a big fan of that. i was wondering about the mrev2. i guess i have my answer. i do plan on buying them from Nate, i have read nothing but great things about his packages. thanks again for the input and advice

fast intentions sounds good.

The MREV2 shows maybe 5 whp over the non-revup lower plenum. Not worth the price if you don't have the rev-up.
