I saw that, although I cant feel a difference. I bought it for the sound. All these bolt on upgrades rarely give us any big gains. Buy them for the sound, if they add HP consider it a bonus. You wanna see gains without bolt on parts? Use Motul 300v 5w30 oil and change the tranny fluid to royal purple and add royal purple ice to the radiator that should add about 10hp easy

+1! You're exactly right. Especially intakes on the G37, you won't feel much without a proper tune.

I will try to get a vid of it outside BEFORE the intakes go on.

(I had to drive my car up to get the front bumper re sprayed since it was attacked by a tech or someone in Chicago before delivery with a buffer and it was NASTY!) But with that being said even with the increased heat I noticed even in 6th gear going 65/70 it took a lot less effort to hit 80 on the highway or even up hills. I kinda wish I coulda done a stock pull and then done the Berks to see where it put me at for power, but it just wouldn't have worked out with my schedule.

Cool, thanks. Hopefully it wont sound raspy with Tanabes. Will wait for the videos.

Yea that will be next on the list soon. Just debating if I should pick up a Cobb AP system or just do an UPrev flash. Would be nice to have something that I could just PnP as I upgrade or swap parts

Great, that is the purpose of this thread! Hopefully I can help quite a few others. I won't have a baseline, but at least you will get an idea what it can do for numbers from stock + HFC to HFC + R2C.
