Modification advice needed

Hey guys,
I have a stock 2004 G35 coupe. I love my car but feel it is a bit slow. I considered an exhaust, intake, headers and a plenum spacer but I was wondering if the cost of the mods would be worth the power gains (anyone know if these mods add significant power?). Is there a turbo set up which would give me nice gains and work well for DD?

Honestly if you are looking to add significant power you need to go FI. With an exhaust, spacer, HFCs/TPs, shorter gears and a tune car will definitely be faster but not crazy gains.

I suggest you poke around on the FI section of my350z. Tons of great info there.

I appreciate it. I figured the power gains wouldn't be worth it. I wonder how much I should save for this. I guess ill find out when I find what I want

I haven't done a ton of research on turbo setups, but you'll need to save enough for the kit itself, supporting mods, installation and a tune. If you aren't building your motor then you should also have enough saved for when/if your motor blows cause it could happen.
