Either way, should be an interesting build thread. In for progress and pics.

The high will be sustain by how close I can keep my right foot to the drivers side exhaust headers...lol

Looking good Chili! What did you end up doing to get the wheel to clear? Looks like your driver side exhaust tip is a bit over to the right, should be a simple fix but had to call you on it, lol. Keep up the nice work!

Performance Plus Tire Swapped them out with 19" wheels instead of the original 18" ones I ordered. They paid to return the old ones and I just paid the difference to get the new ones. They have a fitment guarantee and I didn't even have to ask about the swap, they offered. Stand up company.

The exhaust slid a little bit since installation, I have an auto kits x rear diffuser on the way and will address it more then.

Sounds like excellent customer service, glad they made things right, that diffuser should go well on your G, look forward to more pics!

The first thing it did was make the steering tighter. Coming off a z that is one thing I loved about the car is the fact that you could feel a rock in the tire and it was heavy to turn the wheel, something that gets taken away from the g with all the luxury upgrades. The second thing I noticed is the handling is absolutely ridiculous. Replacing the front a arms with polyurethane bushings really tightens things up on the front end compared to stock rubber bushings, add in the sway bars, and you are hitting exit ramps at 80-85 with little to no body roll.

it makes the car everything it should be from the factory. Stiffer ride than the stock s suspension but everyday bearable. Had track editions on my z and it would beat you to hell an back.

Worth every penny to me. Doing it all at once just makes it all easier too.

I had the stillen dual exhaust on my z and by comparison to this one on the sedan, I think the g is a little quieter and a little muffled. Personally I think the Stillen stuff sounds best, but that is totally subjective. If I were building a track car I would want something obnoxious, the stillen stuff is probably the most classy sounding stuff I have heard. Not that there is anything really wrong with the sounds of other exhausts, it's just what matches the street look of the car that I am building, if that makes any since.

Intake was a little challenging to install, you will need a dremel or other precision cutting tool to install and more than likely you will need a roll of adhesive padding tape from home depot due to the close clearance on the drivers side intake, which usually taps the inner fender well on startup and rattles a little at idle, easily eliminated with this foam sided tape. The exhaust was really easy as some are on install. Did it myself no extra hands.

I will upload a pic of under hood in the morning.
