modding....what's next!?

hey guys,

well, i never thought i'd reach this point but i cant find mods to buy for my G! i mean in terms of performance and handling. not exterior/interior stuff.

so far i got this:-

performance:
Fast Intentions Long tube headers + CF cat-back + Motordyne M370 Intake Manifold + Gen3 Intake + Unorthdox Pulley Set + grounding kit + tune.

handling (brake/suspension):
KW V3 + DBA drilled/slotted + Forged brake lines + Hawk pads + GTSPEC all pieces!! + Hotckis sway bars + rear camber arms.

i have exterior/interior stuff to list but like i said, i want to buy something! to improve performance/handling.

any suggestion! , what should i buy next to squeeze power from the G (N/A mods) or makes the handling better.

dont have a video for CF cat-back + long tube headers but i used to have the SS cat-back and i took a video when i installed the long tube headers. check my thread "fast intentions long tube headers review".

but there is a HUGE difference between SS and CF. will take a video for you later when i have some free time

cool thank for the vids - the difference you speak of in the exhaust is it performance or sound related?

i posted some information in a thread for someone who was asking about Fast Intentions. i'll just copy past it here, hope this helps:-

gear: 5 AT
SS (MagnaFlow) + HFCs = DEEP and little bit of drone.
SS (MagnaFlow) + LTH = 20% less drone than before and HIGH INCREASE in sound with high pitch exotic sound at high RPM!!

CF (MagnFlow) + LTH = 50% increase in drone than before setup and increase in the exotic sound, still high pitch sound but quality of the sound is better. (((cabin noise= everything shakes lol)))

CF (New X-Pipe) + LTH = BEST EXHAUST SOUND I HEARD FOR THE G37!! , i'd say 30% to 40% less drone than before setup but the sound became SO DEEP and the high pitch sound is almost gone. basically, deep exotic sound and goes up to the high RPM. and DEFINITELY there is a different feel in power, feels like the car jumps better now. (((cabin noice = so much less than before setup because the sound is really deep now so only shake because of the drone)))

i have to say, i have The Motordyne M370 Intake Manifold which i installed it along with the new X-Pipe, dont know if the jump cuz of it or cuz of the X-Pipe but am happy that i changed it .

Any idea what performance gains you got with those versus stock?

I'm curious about the Motordyne IM - gains?

If you don't want to boost, I would say start doing your internals. That seems like the only thing you have left to do with N/A. Then you'll be all set when/if you finally go boosted.

Replacing OEM with lighter weight versions? Seats, wheels, brakes, hood/trunk, battery, etc
