everyone has different opinions when it comes to exhaust GReddy and HKS are probably the 2 most popular ones personally I like Motordyne and GReddy exhausts. but use the search feature there are hundreds of threads concerning each and every exhaust out there. so narrow down what exhaust is best for you and search to receive more info. HKS tends to be one of the loudest exhaust not the loudest but up there. GReddy tend to be slightly louder than stock and with HFC its icing on the cake. Motordyne is similar to GReddy in the fact its slightly louder than stock but again not annoying.... but motordyne will give you your best gains. Read this thread ( https://g35driver.com/forums/intake-...ing-stock.html )
it gives you a bunch of popular exhausts with loudness ratings really helped me out

I suggest getting some swaybars. Used is fine.
And for the coils or springs ill go w/ coils. Just save up some extra more money and buy a good set. 06+ projectors is nice too
Yea, the mREV and 5/16" spacer is a nice torque improvement from 3k to 4k and up. Definitely pulls more passing ppl and at lower rpms. Best setup with a spacer of some sort and any other intake/exhaust mods. Lots of fun and helps add a bit of rumble too. If your looking to add more top end power you'll want to do headers....thats next on my agenda, or tint :P

I love how people stretch to buy an expensive *luxury* car for 15...20...25K plus and then expect to mod it for super cheap.

any others?
I like the injen but some ppl dont like it. To be honest the tips look a lot smaller since they are dual walled. I have the injen CAI and the injen system, a lot more mods done too, but gives it some extra pep. I have some vids posted if your interested, I would definitely stay away from the Top Speed n1 system, that was a horrid mistake on my part. But it sounds amazing online

I recommend drop, painted roof and headlights and eyelids, wheels, exhaust (or at least new tips), and then bodykit in that order! Even a BBK and aggressive hood like the seibon TS would help bring everything together. Just be sure to sit low or it won't work with the GTR bumper IMHO. I don't like the bumper but if your going to do it, go full out!!!
Go Ionic eyelids/grille, always a nice look imo

No, you'd know if you have the revup engine, its only on the 05 and up 6 speeds (6mt) cars where they have 298 hp vs the 280. Thats partly why the 298s have less torque than the 280s do. 270 vAs 260.

Aka 05+ 6mts are 298 260 and the 05 autos are 280 270, I want to say they improved the hp on the autos that year too, but I'm not sure exactly

Mod research

First of all I'm new, I'm doing a little research on basically the top 5 best bang for your buck mods for a G35

I've been around nissan sports cars for years, but most of mine are older(S13, R32, S13, R32) and I'm looking to learn a bit more about some newer cars (hence joining)

So if you guys would like to participate just make a list of your favorite mods to your car in order of 1-5

For those that participate, I thank you very much

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

1.5/16 md iso thermal spacer 180$ used
2. Stillen ztube(better than z tube cuz of material) 50$ used
3. Clear corners(gives the car a different look) like 20$
4. Crawfordz Cats(they sound amazing with hks which i have) 250$
5.06 airbox with k&n filter prob ur best bet for intake there are too many bad stories about the rest of the intakes. 90$ used
I bought all of my performance stuff used it saves u alot of money and you can trust the people on here. For example hks is 1500 brand new i got one for 800 with 5k on it. Everyone says n/a is expensive but if u shop aroudn enough you can get alot for ur money.
