I did not know throttle body spacer added that much power.
Haha, I remember my old Tsi AWD and Evo; it used to be only $400-$1000 to drop the time by a second... This car is like $400-$1000 to drop it by .1 second (Safely). But that's fine, alot of us arn't 16-24 any, and no longer stunting at the track every other weekend.

BTW the G35 interior beats the ring worms out of the Evo.

And does adding an air intake pipe void your warranty?

It shouldn't, but that's something to discuss with your dealer. Here in Sacto one dealer is cool with mods, while the other is not, so I suggest asking the questions and figuring out which dealer will not give you any grief. Keep your stock pipe just in case and swap it out before you take it in if you are concerned.

Haven't checked with Infiniti yet, but I'm pretty sure anything before emissions can automatically void warranty on the motor...

My dealer told me anything that is available on the Stillen site is approved for warranty. I usually get the dealer to do the tougher installs.

If this is a lack then I am still happy with the little support we have.

Wow, you put some time into that one. Didn't realize there was that many. More importantly, why are so few vendors on this and other sites. And why does no one use them. The N/A mods you see on this site can be counted on two hands. Everyone buys spacers (didn't notice much with this one) from MD. People seem to choose from a few different CAI....

If you look at sigs on this board, they would exclude at least 90% of the vendors listed. Why is that? Are you maybe listing Japanese vendors that really don't count due to shipping costs?

nice list. for your sedan i would recommend these simple mods:

borla exhaust - very close in sound to stock
injen cai if you want cai
stillen or jwt popcharger with z-tube if you want short ram
motordyne 5/16 spacer

these will run you about $1500 and make decent hp without being too loud.

+1
Perfect start for an extra 20 or so HP without any change in day to day driving.
The Borla sounds great but is a bit louder than the stock (in a good way).
