I did get mine installed this past weekend, I left my Stillen HFC's on for now and it just screams. I believe I will cut back just a tad and put the oem cats back on.
Oh and the black tips look great!

You installed your GTHaus with Stillen HFC's? That should be loud as hell. How's the rasp?

It's still a little too quiet for my taste. But I might have the funds this year for either an intake (probably Stillen) or down pipes (probably FI). Haven't really decided which way to go yet, more than likely intakes first, then down pipes.

If you don't have one yet I would recommend the Motordyne M370 and Takeda long tube intake. When I added both to my G with the GTHaus it deepened the sound quite a bit. It sounded great.
Next up is the RSR springs that are currently sitting in my garage. I took the wheels off on Sunday to do a deep clean, clay and wax, and put my 15mm spacers on the rear, but when I got to the front I didn't have the cover for my jack stands to keep from folding over the welded seams at the jack point, so it will have to wait till this weekend. I will say it looks a little weird right now with pristine wheels in the rear with spacers and dirty wheels in the front without spacers.
Hopefully if the weather isn't too cold this weekend I'll start paint correcting. I think it'll be in the mid 40's.

It certainly is. However, he also has Stillen's non-resonated, high-flow cats as components of his exhaust. Apparently he's going back to OEM cats this weekend. They will probably tamp down the racket in a noticeable way.
Kirk, that quick start and idle video sounded wonderful. It was your launch down the road that seemed tame. Give yourself some time. Heightened expectations can really mess with your head.
1. Hockey puck
2. Still much ado about nothing.

It's an old trick, Goonz. Cut a groove in a hockey puck. Hacksaw a couple of half inch cuts and dig it out with a flat screwdriver or whatever. Think about it for a moment and you'll figure it out. Hockey pucks cost virtually nothing. Walmart.
You don't want to see my floor jack... probably 40 years old, covered in rust, but it was free, it's a riduculously heavy 2-ton, and it works.

Also, I returned the OEM sport Infiniti muffler unopened so I avoided the restocking fee thankfully. I did not go with a full cat-back setup therefore no Fast Intentions. I picked up Tanabe Medallion having previously owned it in my previous coupe and absolutely loving it. Can't wait to get it installed and for those beautiful 4" Tanabe tips.

My twin Red Sport thread has gone silent! I hope he returns with some pics of his RS-R springs
Btw, I had my Tanabe Medalion installed, man does it look sexy and sound great. Nothing like yours obviously by perfect to my liking. I apologize in advance if I'm hijacking your thread, I'm just living vicariously through this thread

I don't mind the hijacking. It's good conversation! Heck, this could be a Red Sport build thread, doesn't have to be just mine for all I care!
I didn't even know Tanabe had an exhaust for this car. There's really not much out there specific to the 3.0t. How did it change the sound? Throatier?
I'm trying to find a strut bar for the 3.0t right now. Not much luck, plus I believe Hotchkis just came out with a set of seats for the Red Sport.
Have you seen/heard about the Infiniti Black Sport? 500hp 3.0t hybrid.
