Hello all, first off, i have recently purchased a 6spd 05 G35 with 20,000 miles on it.

I love it very much. but would like to upgrade few things.

I know for sure i am going to drop it, cause its 4x4 right now.

Thinking of going Tein S springs. Any other suggestions?

Also i will most likely be upgrading the exhaust system. Searched this forum around bout it and came across the Ebay one that's 1/3 the price and sounds exactly like the name brand.

Other than that, most likely few small things. Lip, Sideskirts, rear diffuser, HIDS.

It's a stock G though for now.

Congrats and welcome. If you get the g35 or 350z s-tech springs it is recommended that you also get a front and rear camber kit to avoid changing tires very quickly.

Welcome to forums and congrats on the purchase. I don't know too much about the Ebay exhaust but you get what you pay for so be cautious. I personally have the HKS exhaust and love it.

Congratz bro, you were me 2 months ago lol! I started off with ztube jwt popcharger motordyne 5/16 spaver n mrev2 and titek test pipe n hks exhaust.. Im a 6spd also.. These worked very well.. Last thing after u get all ur bolt ons you'd wanna get an Osiris Uprev Reflash As for slamming it, coils would prolly be ur best bet.. Ride heigh adjustable and if u get the edfc you can adjust the stiffness of ur car.. springs are a 1 shot thas how its gonna sit type deal... all ur choice just do lots of research and try to find a good local guy/shop to help you.. Good luck!

Welcome!

I really want to try that exhaust but I'm scared because everyone on here seems to have insane brand loyalty. There aren't many people I've seen that actually have them but the posts that I have seen about the eBay exhausts is that they're surprisingly high quality and work well.

That is an X02 exhaust. You can get it cheap here

I had it installed for 2 weeks and it sounds amazing. The tips are kind of crappy, so change them for real titanium ones from top speed. Check youtube for x02 exhaust videos. It is much deeper, less raspy than the real HKS. The welds are also top quality.
