Compiling wish list for car parts, need SKUs for sedan.
I've been compiling together a wish list of car parts that I plan to purchase over the next couple months/year. I need to get the SKU# together so that I don't purchase incompatible parts.
- Takeda cold air intake
- Cusco strut brace
- Hotchkis F+R Sport Sway Bar
- Fast Intentions / Berk HFC
- Still deciding on a cat back exhaust; feel free to throw some recommendations down in the comments.
With that being said, what parts are interchangeable between the post-facelift coupe and sedans?

The reason why I ask is because there are so many different variants. Some for the coupe, some for the sedan. I see someone on this forum with a part for their sedan, but when I look it up, that part is only available for the coupe. Some parts are interchangeable between the two, some aren't. It also doesn't help when some manufacturers/retailers tend to not list every specific model.
One example are the coilovers that I purchased. I was recommended the Tein Street Basis Z by a member here. When I went to an online retailer to purchase it, I couldn't find the part number that's compatible with the sedan. I went on the manufacturer's own website to find out what part number goes with the sedan, but when I looked at their compatibility chart, it didn't list the G37 sedan. It only listed the G37 in the coupe trim. They listed the sedan for the G35, but not the G37, so that's when I thought these coils aren't compatible with the G37 sedan. However, I was reassured by the member that recommended these coils to me that the coils that are compatible with the coupe are also compatible with the sedan.

I'm most interested in the Motordyne E370 and I'm most likely going to pair it with the FI RHFC.
Is the Motordyne CBE compatible with the sedan? The vendor I'm looking at only has them listed for the coupe, but I see many people with this exhaust on their sedans. Are there two separate models for the coupe and the sedan, or are they interchangeable?

Honestly, I'm no expert and the FI/Berk RHFC just get mentioned a lot. I've leaned more towards RHFC/HFC because it doesn't remove the cat and throw off the CEL.
Aren't there laws against straight-piping the cat? I don't understand it really. It's illegal, but people are running those setups and manufacturers are able to sell test pipes without any legal trouble. So is it really illegal?
EDIT: DOH! Motordyne's ART pipes aren't test pipes. I thought "ART" was just part of the branding name like how GRIP is for ARK. I didn't realize ART signified a different type of setup.
