G37 Sedan

Does anyone else find the sedan horribly plain looking?

It may take a few trys if the tips are really bad but I did mine and it worked the second time.

That's also what I use, good stuff for sure!

Great to "hear" Mike, glad you're happy w/ the sound (I thought you'd be a happy camper!)

Nice. With those Berks, your Takeda intake, and now this Invidia exhaust... you're probably searching for the closest UpRev shop right now. Two somewhat nearby in NYC, and one in PA.

http://uprev.com/dealers.php

That's some pretty quick I/E modding you've done there on a 2013 model car. It would be fun to see the look on technicians faces at your local INFINITI dealership next time you bring it in for whatever.

Thanks for that link. Now I know my local dealer

Their shop is always full of gtr's and exotics though. Makes me feel lame having a g37s

In Puerto Rico?

You know, I think here in the mainland we tend to confuse PR with Cuba. Sorry, man. I need to get out of the house more often.

A picture of your G Sedan next to all those exotics at this shop you found... that would be pretty cool to see. Something for your scrapbook to look back on in 30 years, Alfredo.

Haha thank you John im very skeptical about tuning my car since I dont want to mess around with the ECU incase something goes wrong after sometime this way I could really lose my warranty... bolt ons are a different story you know... and as a matter of fact I gotta go to my dealer for service provably this weekend or ill postpone it till next week because I want to get some fun time with that exhaust

Brad now I just cant wait till I get out of work to just drive it around and listen to it ... its music to my ears... since last night I didnt even have Sirius or any kind of music on I look for an excuse to drive just to hear it

Just don't look at your avg. mpg readout, w/ the SRIs, full catback, and HFCs you won't be keeping that VQ under 4000 rpm for weeks
You'll be lucky to be getting 10mpgs under such conditions, but you won't be able to wipe that grin off your face, so I guess it's worth it

Oh yeah I know I havent seen my avg. mpg at 18-20 already in a while since I got my HFCs on and now I have an even better reason not to see my mpg anywhere near those numbers. It definitely is worth that grin on my face haha cant wait to drive it already haha

Here is one teaser picture and please don't mind the dirty car, haven't had time at all to take care of that

Meh they're not that bad actually ... was never a fan of those big round tips but I guess these are not as big as some of the guys' tips on here. Regardless of the fact I'm planning on eventually getting some custom work done on the quad tips

I need a little info. Maybe this is just misinformation but do High Flow Cats cause the idiot light to come on? A kid down my street put Berk HFC on his Z35 and he told me his check engine light came on after the install. Anybody have experience with this? This is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on getting HFC's.

ECU needs to relearn, carbon needs to build up inside the cats, etc.

Reset the ECU and let it cycle. As far as I can tell researching this for some time now, this is standard operating procedure. You get the CEL when the ECU cycles the first time after the HFC install, then you reset and it never comes back.

At least, that's what I'm hoping for. Fingers crossed.

Looks good, I would consider the AUTOKITS rear diffuser to hide those canisters a bit (just a thought)
