Default Just installed skunk 2 plenum spacer

hey guys, just installed the skunk 2 plenum spacer on my '04 z, absolutely love it, although i got a ticket about 2 hours after i hit the streets, it really improves the horses at high RPM's, besides the ticket i am very impressed, it took about 2 hours to install which isnt bad considering thats the first major thing that "i" have actually installed on my car, i will post some pics of it later on

Congratulations. Self-installs, not matter how simple or complicated, are always satisfying.

all skunk 2 are 5/8 i had it all my 04 z . this is my 06 with motordyne spacer . maybe they did a bad install on my previous car , that's why i did everything with my new car . +1 on davidv

you feel any gains ? it felt pretty good in my 04 . it wasnt all that much though . you should get mrev and a k&n drop in filter. you'll feel the power gained.

Your Z would love you more if you droped it a bit! Got any pics of it in the day light? Trying to get a better view of your tint.

Shouldve gone with Motordyne's spacer, it retains the factory STB.
