I want it to either be lighter/faster or get better mpg etc.

Seems that so many upgrades have mixed reviews.

Think of the lightweight crank pulley (stock size)...but some people think its a myth.

Intake?....Stock is best right?

HFC's? SOUNDS like good solid gains...but I don't CEL or hissing sounds.



I might just take out my spare and save 45lbs!

Forget about lighter.. last thing you want to do is strip a Sedan which beats the purpose of having one to start with lol

If you want slight power, HFC's & Intakes make a small difference and if money isn't an issue go TT

I stripped my trunk completely, leaving the cargo net, lol. It breaks loose easier now, but i think i messed up the front to rear weight distribution. Now i gotta go get a lighter battery, etc...

Listen to Sam. HFC's sound good & have decent gains, along with an intake and exhaust. I would probably do intake first. Lowering the cars or some rims is nice too, if you want to change the look.

I took out the rear seats in my coupe for a while, but theres too much road noise from the rear tires.

If you want to remove the rear seats you shouldve bought a 370 plain stupid

^^^^ My comment was actually a joke. Thought it would be funny for a sedan guy to remove his rear seats.

The fold down part of the rear seat was 35? bottom seat part was like 15-16lbs. The spare and all the lining of the trunk i didnt weigh. All in all i think i probably shed around.. 60 (seats) + 45 (spare) + 10-15 for the rest of the junk, plastic, lining, plastic covers for the stock amp, and jack.. about 115-120lbs.

I also had a JL 10w6 and a 500/1 with a zenclosures box that i took out. Lots of weight saved there too.. The exhaust note w/ no lining in the back is sweet though. you can hear it much better.

Racing seats would be good here.. like Recaro sports Topline. Sucks that they retail for $1799 + we need to find some kind of G37 bracket and fitment.. otherwise i just may have done it.

Hey man, i didn't strip your car..it was mine. I can do whatever i want with it. but FWIW, the rear seats are back in right now.

sorry we can get back on topic now.

You should get a Status Elite intake, I hear they're good stuff.

Yea...I'm not stripping the car. Thinking removing the spare...probably about 50lbs and a light weight battery...maybe save another 20lbs.

Its just 70 less pounds that I'm not accelerating and braking. BUT...it probably won't be noticeable.

I've been set on doing a Cobb ECU as they get the 09's going...BUT then I've seen other posts here that showed no gains before and after.

Modding should be easy....LOL
