FI long-tubes... I didn't know you had that on the shelf, waiting for your FI catback.
Yikes!
Sounds frightening and awesome. Positively musclecar. That FI exhaust totally transforms your car, doesn't it? It's going to be difficult not driving like a d1ck for a while. In fact, you may have to simply give in and drive like a d1ck all the time, because racecar. You can start by whipping the car around your immediate neighborhood.
And for crying out loud, get some aftermarket swaybars on that weight-challenged Vert. Do it right now, before you do anything else. Seriously... swaybars, then Tune.
Haha... you geek.
Two handed and ***** to the walls.
(sorry about your fender bender. glad you and the car are ok. )

Not sure if you are on "Infiniti G37S" facebook page but there is a guy Juan B-guac Bonilla that sells IPL bumpers. I think they are factory. Give him a shout.
Sorry about your car!!
Nice to see a fellow Arkanasan here...

Oh and thank you to RexHavok and Streettec for sending me to Juan on FB. I bought a brand spankin new still in box IPL from bumper with the fog light inserts n mesh included at a great price. Way below a new in box from infiniti or at least any of the MANY places I searched. Extremely Stoked about that.
I also got these bada$$ headlights (not just the one in the link, I made a sweet deal for both) for only $800 shipped. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...obalID=EBAY-US
So far I've saved $2700 by finding OEM parts online rather than allowing the body shop to buy brand new parts from infiniti and talking the body shop into ruling that 3 of my CV4's were too badly damaged to fix.
The CV4's are actually fixable, but according to 3 different wheel repair shops the finish that Vossen does is very hard to replicate (especially the polished silver I'm told). But if I want to have the CV4's repaired they would have to be totally sanded down and given a different finish. Maybe it would look almost as good as the Silver polished who knows.

Oh hell yes the exhaust n the headers sound amazing therefore forcing me to drive like a total d!ck, nearly all the time. It's not my fault it's the exhaust causing the lead foot I swear officer, golfers, POA board members with the stick far up your butts.
Ok ok I'm with you on the sways. I'll put them in front of my tune...I guess
My wife of all people has been saying the same thing for a while now. She wanted to get on here n say something but I shut her down lol. Can't have her stealing my thunder, not right this instant anyway, ha.
Your right about the headers too. I didn't want to admit it but those babies were setting in my garage closet for months before I had them installed. I had the $$, but I wanted it all to happen at the same time. Actually I'm glad I waited. The car is absolute racecar now. Drives like the wind and sounds like the thunder. Love it

Red,
Yep I live in Sherwood... Bought my 2011 Black G37xS Coupe a year ago this month. Haven't done any performance mods yet. The only think I have done is changed my headlight HIDs to 5000k and foglights to 5000k as well.
That is it... LoL!!
Your car looks great!! White or Black were the only two colors I considered when looking for a G.
Good to see you got the IPL ordered! That is going to look good on a white vert!

Hey STREETTEC...we should meet up sometime bro. I bet those headlight n fog upgrades look great. How much did they cost you if you don't mind sharing? I've been strongly considering getting a full Diode Dynamics kit since my car insurance quote be what I'm actually spending on replacement parts seems to be making it literally rain $$ lol. Plus while the car is being fixed I know the techs there will happily throw that kit in and I'm def gonna have them paint my bumper to mimic the midnight version as well.
Around the G37 I will accommodate your request as soon as the insurance Job is finshed if that's cool with you. There is a Ton of grass, muck, n whatever else was in that godforsaken ditch underneath my car and all over my new exhaust. Honestly I'm curious if the wreck made something come a little loose and I'm just too prideful of the G to take ultra dirty video photos of it. Is that straight?

In so far as performance gains, replacing shorty headers and high-flow cats with cat-less long-tube headers is an expensive prospect for minimal change, irrespective of this hiss that's driving you nuts.
"the caveat hear"... I see what you did.
Can you run cat-less in Texas? And how would you satisfy the O2 sensors without catalyst in the exhaust? For that matter... Redfire, isn't your CEL on now with the long-tubes?
