New to modding, need your help

hello guys,

this is my first post in this forum, and I'm glad to join this community.

So I've decided to mod my 08 G37s, what do u guys recommend to start with?


I've read that R2C intake is recommended, so I'll get that first.

I wanna play with my ride more so can you guys plz help.

Also I'm located in Kuwait so probably I'll have to import most parts.

thanks, waiting for your suggestions.

There's a couple of things you can do to give you little power boosts here and there.
1) Get a new Intake
2) Get an Exhaust System
3) Get a tune on your car
4) Replace your Exhaust Manifold
5) Get the Stillen Supercharger Kit (expensive)

Please search.. all your questions have really been answered before by everyone new to the boards looking to modify. There are tons of threads about exhaust and which system people like and ooodles of opinions on them from everyone. Check out youtube, listen to some clips, search those on out here, base your judgement on stuff everyone has already posted and what you feel would be a best match for you, etc.
Forums aren't new to the internet but it seems searching is for every new user.

Youre welcome since you nothing to add, cheers mate.
