G35 exhaust note
Whatever you do, do it right- otherwise you won't be satisfied with your ride and spend more in the long run. You prob know this. Be sure to take the time to research for the right parts as there is a lot of c*** out there for the g35s.. Including eBay headlights, cheap exhausts, race land coilovers, muffler deletes and the list goes on.

Matter in regards to what? I personally would avoid the rev-up ones... only because of the much higher chances of getting one with oil consumption issues.

That's what I thought! Yea I was worried about the oil issues, but people above in this thread said it doesn't matter.
1. 2007/2008 G35 SEDANS only. But that will be getting into the V36 platform. Which means get on MyG37 instead of here for good advice
2. DE's are a great engine during it's time (But overrated in its power number). But in terms of N/A power from bolt-ons. The gainz are minimal. And you'll be comparing it against newer cars too. You'll feel left behind. We just don't react to mods as well as a Honda would. Atleast with the HR or 37VHR you're starting with a better engine to boot.
The ugly truth is a Toyota Camry can smoke us. Let that sink in.
3. If you REALLY want to mod on the DE.
Intakes don't do ****.
Catbacks just make noise.
Replacing cats are good gainz.
Plenum spacer (+MREV2 if you're rev-up) is decent gainz as well
Slap in a tune and you're looking at maybe 20-30 extra RWD HP versus stock (With the mods). Considering our weight, that's nothing. A tune alone is $500
Turbo/SC the DE. You're looking at a ticking time bomb unless if you want to spend the amount of the car again getting the engine rebuilt.

Wow! Where is all this hate coming from? A Camry smoke a g35? Well maybe a 2003-04 auto with 260 rated hp. And that's vs a brand new 30k fully loaded Camry. And still a maybe. If your not going to go with top quality parts then just leave your g35 alone. No need to mol est your car with cheap parts. I just ran a 05 Sti modded from a 60 roll and destroyed it. And all I got is a slow oil consuming 05 rev up with full bolts on and a tune.
Just so we're clear, any G35 driver who's losing in a speed contest against a Camry is doing it wrong. A 6mt coupe gets 0-60 in 5.5 seconds (via motor trend) dead stock, and I promise no Camry comes close to that. Add bolt ons, a little weight reduction, some nice tires (maybe a gearing change if yer feeling extra saucy) and a tune and we're almost in sti territory.
This Camry rumor came from ONE video where a shitty driver in a g35 went up against super modded Camry. Let's not speak of this again.

Most important with weight reduction is rotating mass. Wheels, tires, clutch/flywheel, brake rotors, drive shaft, pulleys.
Beyond that it depends on how practical you want your car to be. Every 100lbs of lightening accounts for 1/10 if a second in acceleration. Meaning if you take off 100lbs, you'll take .1 seconds off your 0-60/quarter mile. Each pound of rotating mass is worth 3x that tho. So if you take 8lbs off of a spinning parts is like taking 24lbs of weight off of the car overall.

Haha yea I was going to stay away from that post. What kind of weight saving stuff have you guys done to your own G35s? The only thing I can think of is replacing bumpers/skirts with lighter material ones, and maybe replacing the backseats (of the coupe) with empty space?

That's actually a legitimate way to reduce overall weight too. Haha
I can really feel it on the scoot. Goes uphill super easy now.

It DOES matter.... the problem is like 20x more common on a Rev-up VQ35DE motor than the normal one. This is the reason why Infiniti had a TSB for oil consumption only on the rev-up 05-07 motors that were used in the G35 Coupe 6MT and G35 Sedan 6MT cars and not the ones in the automatic tranny sedans and auto-coupes that don't have the rev up during those same years.

I'm not a fan of the way the G37 looks. I really love the g35. Also I read on some other forum that if you replace the piston heads with forged something or other (I'd have to go look it up) that you can eliminate the oil problem (if your car is one of the unlucky ones)
Also for the record I'm not interested in making my exhaust louder I'm saying I love the note as it is, and I'd like to leave it the way it is if there's no performance gain

Not a fan of the 37 either but it has better performance and with some external mods it looks really clean

Well is there a real performance difference between rev-up and not rev up?
In terms of 0-60 times? I don't care much about top speed, but I sure like beating somebody at the lights, and preferably not losing all my oil in the process
