xo2 with stock everything else is a good choice. for the fitment issue, you just have to play with the hangers and brackets to get the alignment down BEFORE you tighten it down. also, i had some rubbing issues so i just used some heat wrap in 2-3 places that were close to get rid of it.

for intakes, z-tubes with the jwt popcharger or k&n drop-in seem to be the best bang for your buck.

Good to know so i may need to pick up some exhaust wrap before the install as for intakes i was looking at this one http://www.cosmoracing.com/productin...d=224&pid=1299 i havent decided to go for the bling one or just black but i had one on my previous car and i really liked the sound WOT nice deep and throaty i think it would be a nice addition to the Xo2. Do you guys know if i have to take the front bumper off for a cold air?

Well unfortunatly i didnt get the exhaust on today. My boy who usually helps me out bailed on me so i was stuck doing it solo. Not recommended! I had to fight to get the rear exhaust can off the stupid rubber hangers for 3 hours! After i got the first 2 off i discovered the last one was even more of a PITA cause now i have to hold this 40lbs exhaust while i try to get it off the hanger. So now all thats left is taking off the factory Y-pipe and then installing all the new stuff but by the time i got the exhaust can off it was 6 and getting dark fast so i called it quits. So if all goes well il start back on it on Tuesday morning before work since i got a 12 hour day tomorrow and im not trying to do that before work. Hopefully will get it on the car Wensday by latest im thinking unless i get lazy and wait for the weekend. Also interesting fact i weighed the factory mid pipe that sucker weighs 35lbs! I have yet to weigh the can but i wouldnt doubt its far off that. The new exhaust weighs 60ish with everything.

spraying wd-40 on the rubber hangers + large pry bar works wonders

good luck on the install.

sounds similar to what happened to me, it took several hours for me and 1 friend to get the muffler off the hangers. Once we finally got it off, we realized that the mid and y pipes were never going to come apart (my car lived in NY for the first part of her life so you can imagine the corrosion).

pb blaster, breaker bar, and impact gun were of no use and we ended up leaving the mid and y pipe connected, and they are still connected to this day in my old storage shed that went with the house when we sold it lol

anywho. good luck with the rest!!! if anyone at Orlando Infiniti can be of any assistance to you, please let me know and we will be happy to help
