I have Popcharger, Nismo cat-back and 5/16" spacer (MD) I dynoed with 266.6whp/250trq. Thats all for performance mods. The spacer is probably the easiest to install out of the 3 that you mentioned, Pullies are a pain sometimes and taking your cats off will be a pain unless you have go go gadget arms lets say, but I did my spacer in an hour or so and my friend and I did his Mrev in about 1.5. I have nice a/f also, heres a link to my dyno results.

P.S The sound is pure sex IMO

im going to get the MREVV2 soon as well
i believe you can do the pulley without a puller...i might be wrong though

does the spacer affect the sound from the engine at all?

If you dont have an in/lb torque wrench be sure to divide the ft/lb setting by 12 to obtain the correct in/lb equivalent. I hand tightened the bolts first, then went to 5 ft/lbs instead of 60 in/lbs and then went to 7.5 ft/lbs instead of 90 in/lbs. I had to put my ear by the wrench cuz the click is very light. Its not alot of force. Very straight forward install, might have to tweak the strut bar, depends on how tight your car is. If you do it while the car is cold its better, once its warm its a pain.
