Exclamation inquiry and need assistance

Hello Guys

Actually i have got some extra cash which i would like to spend on my baby "infiniti g37 2008 model", and am so keen not to lose the money in stuff which are unnecessary, mentioned below my 2 basic inquires:

1-what is the best exhaust system for this baby? as i had made some researches so far i figured out its the ARK grip, is it true or there is a system which is better?
2-is it worth it to upgrade the headers? if yes which headers are the best?

i really appreciate your assistance and support and am opened for any suggestions regarding the upgrade.

ahhhh was about to forget.....my budget is roughly 6000 to 7000$.

Thank you so much

Hello,

1. "Best" is a relative term. Judging from your price range, I'm guessing money isn't the issue. The Meisterschaft exhaust manufactured by GTHaus is a *very* nice exhaust with a great tone.
2. In general, no, it is not worth it to upgrade the headers. You will see moderate power increases if you get short tube headers, and slightly more than that if you get long tube headers. However, they are a pain to replace and the benefits aren't nearly as much as other mods. However, if you've got 6 grand you're dying to spend, why not? For 6K you could buy a supercharger kit. The install would run you more, though.

Thank you guys for your valuable advices.
I was planning to get coil over as am going to purchase the extreme dimension body kit by duraflex, i had this image in my mind which is to drop the car down as much as i can.

I figured out as much as we lower our Gs the sexier they look, with an upgrade to akebono brake kit.

I dont mind spending little more even,as am not sure when i will be able to spend on her again hahahaha, so i guess it has to be done as in NOW.

I will appreciate your advices on whatever mods that even didnt pass by my mind

The Akebono brakes are nice, but I don't think most people *need* them. It's mostly for looks.

I might look elsewhere for a body kit. I haven't heard many good things about the duraflex kit. Try Carbon Signal, if you are in the UAE, then shipping probably won't be too bad.

I do agree with you that akebono is only for the looks, but i used to have a camaro before and what i can assure based on personal experience that upgrading to large rotors is quit advisable, when i done it previously with the camaro i felt like i am driving another car which is not mine.

Regarding the carbon signal, to be honest never heard of it.

What made you recommended it over duraflex?

You don't see many guys here with the duraflex kit, despite it being cheaper. I have heard about cracking, fitment problems, and overall poor quality. Carbon Signal is based in the middle east. I just checked, they're in the UAE, dubai specifically. They make very good exterior parts, and do excellent carbon fiber work. They are good enough that people in the US buy from them and pay for shipping, so that should tell you something. Website is below.

I checked their website but apparently they dont have full body kits,am not looking to put lip on the stock bumper.

Anyway i will contact them and check if they can do a customized kit for my G.

What i like about the extreme dimension that looks aggressive,but honestly i dont know anything about the material used or that it had fitment problem

That's a very opinion based question. As far as my opinion, the Motordyne e370s are frackin amazing.
