Lol, nah. I just like the fact that you don't have to modify the chassis in anyway to install the intake. And *supposedly* the Injen MR technology keeps your AF ratio spot on. I will be getting the Stillen Exhaust tho. That's gonna be it as far as performance mods go. I want to keep this thing civil.

I want to go with the Stillen because, well, hell, it's the only exhaust out for the sedan. Haha. But, really, because it seems to be just marginally lounder than stock. The G37S is a quasi luxury car so I don't want to turn it into an overbearing ordeal. Just a little more added sound would be nice, nothing major. Any suggestions?
Ahh, you're right. I forgot we're talking about a sedan. I'd look to see if nvidia makes it for the sedan.
I like my intake, it is there when you need it and not overbearing at all in terms of sound. Search for a review I did on those with pics and thoughts and let me know if you have any questions. I'd be more than happy to help. There a lot of tech and design that go into the CAI than meets the eye
PS. I strongly recommend removing the bumper, it is not very hard and will make your life a lot easier. There's a DIY in the DIy section about removing headlights, it outlines how to remove the bumper. I can help if you need more clarification.

You can do everything yourself (remove bumper, install intake...etc). Let me know if you need a recommendation on where to get the intake. Good luck!

*Update*
Sooo, the Injen CAI I ordered arrived a day early so me and a buddy of mine installed it last night. Took us about 2 hours because we took our time and made sure not to scratch anything. The instructions INJEN gives are pretty weak, thanks to a DIY thread on removing headlights I was able to get the bumper off. Car seems to pull a lil harder but I think the ECU is still adjusting. Another odd thing was I had a CEL this morning, pulled it and it was code 21 PCM. Very odd. I reset it and so far nothing anybody else had this code after instlalling CAI? Here's a picture, enjoy!

PS. I have two K&N drop in filters used for 150 miles if anybody want's them, I'll take $80 plus shipping, I paid $120 shipped!

Have you thought about the Fast Intentions exhaust? It is quieter than the Stillen and it is a top notch product. It is priced about the same too. I had a Stillen on my G35 sedan and its fitment was not great, and it had some drone.
Nice car!!! It's always good to see another 6MT....
Oh, and I am sending you a PM about the K & N's.
