Thats actually a lot my man. Sounds like you will be off to a good start. I would add a ztube in there though and a K&N panel filter to let that exhaust roar.

They sell on the marketplace all the time. Or you can head over to my350z and usually they have a few floating around the marketplace. If you want it new( i wouldnt recommend) some of the sponsors have them for sale.

They are just plastic tubes. Most arent cosmetically damage used. Its not like it has an expiration date or anything.

Get the motordyne ART pipes instead. Why a tranny cooler, are you going FI soon? It certainly won't hurt having it, just seems a little unecessary unless you're FI.

why not just get coilovers instead of springs? that way you can have the adjustability to your liking.

I know it's a transmission cooler , I just didn't think it was necessary on a non-FI car. But since you clarified that you are going FI in the future, it's a great mod that I also plan to get soon .

I, and everyone else I know who has the ART pipes, love them. Awesome performance gain starting from the low end, reduces drone, no rasp, slightly quieter than HFC's (which I used to have), and the typical high quality of Motordyne parts. Short of long tube headers (which are impractical for daily driving IMO), ART pipes are the best TP's you can get in every aspect.

First page has links to reviews, including mine.

^^ Not to judge your critiquing of his mod list, but wouldn't you need a transmission cooler for the TransGo VB upgrade? Perhaps that is why he wants the tranny cooler.

Please correct me if I am wrong though.

Don't think so, probably suggested, not necessary.

At least the guys around me that have it done are without a tranny cooler.
