Default Performance Question

Hi there guys and girls
I'm new to the 350z world and was planning to start doing some light modding
I have $500.00 available and was thinking on purchasing this:

1. Plenum spacer
2. Test Pipes
3. Y Pipe

I know maybe the money would not be enough but just to have an idea of how good would be this idea?
thanks in advance

LOVE THE 350Z

what year Z do you have? If you have the Rev-up engine take all that money plus a little more and just buy the MREV+ from motordyne. Don't look for huge gains from NA products, but the MREV is definately worth the money

I like the spacer and test pipes, but not the Y-pipe. Save your money for a complete catback exhaust.

spacers-- MD 5/16 iso thermal
test pipes--been through a couple.. they all seem the same to me... since u have an '03 u can get non-resonated test pipes and not have the CEL come on.

You might also want to consider the AAM angled plenum spacer. Similar gains to the Motordyne spacer.

For spacers check the Z-Sport magazine Plenum vs Plenum Spacer shoot-out.
I do not recommend a budget test pipe. One crack and you may as well toss them in the trash.
