An attempt to rationalize my reasoning.

a) the stock exhaust already performs well and sounds pretty damn good.
b) the stock suspension height (referring to wheel gap) is horrendous (imo) and should be the top priority on almost any G35/37 mod list.

 

after alot of thinking, im pretty sure coil overs are what are going on first!

RPM, you made a good point.... stock wheel gap is disgusting lol

 

I would save the money and wait to get KW Variant 3's....... Plus, I'm not a fan of putting on used exhausts....

 

WINNER! WINNER!

Exhaust is basically paying $1200 for sound. The HP gains are negligible. Screw that, IMO.

Now... put some coilovers on and you will absolutely feel where your money went.

For not too much more than you are already spending, Lou at Amplified Motorsports will install the KW V3's. Call him. It's worth it.

 

Also, depending on how "slammed" you are looking to go later on, Ark is one of the lowest hanging exhausts so becauseful with that choice all together.

 

Go Tein Coils and add the edfc, great set up! I will be selling some in the near future.

 

i might be getting a hook up on some Fortune auto/Broadway static coilovers, just waiting on some pricing to know for sure if those are what ill be getting

 

you looking to drive better or just pick up girls?

suspension = better handling

exhaust = better girls

 

Pretty sure exhaust will only pick up dudes...wheels are flashier than exhaust sound. I've never seen a girl look at a car because of sound...well other than terrible fart pipes to laugh at.

 

Yeah, and if you're okay with a chick digging you because your car has a nice exhaust... well...

 

Already got a gf, so none of this is to pick up le chicks. Just wanted either A) lil more hp, B) lows and handleing

Also have modded all my cars because i cant stand stock...

 

I hear you, brother. I've been married to the same woman since I was 19.

I don't give a damn what some gold diggin hoochie thinks about MY car. Heck, I don't care what my WIFE thinks about it and I love her! LOL!

 

been thinking about doing the same thing. how did you like it and what was the drop?

 

Ignore the brochures. Any HP gain from just exhaust without a tune and other mods will be barely noticeable at best. Go for handling. Besides even if did get you an extra 40 HP....... a well handling "slow" car is infinitely more fun to drive than a less agile speed machine. Just look at the Mustang

 

Exhaust isn't really a HP Mod. First off that exhaust is heavier and Peak HP doesn't' tell the story. Bigger piping will reduce low end power, and overall power of the engine.

You want to make a smart HP gain...get lighter wheels and tires. When I had a TT350Z when I replaced the stock wheels with 20s I felt a big loss in power to the ground.

Get exhaust for looks/sound. Unless you're FI it's not going to make any noticeable difference, and people always "will' the mods to make more power. Louder isn't faster, and because you spent $1200 you will make yourself believe it makes a difference.

I had a Greddy exhaust on my 350 with intake and I loved the sound of it...wasn't any faster.
