G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

Awesome job Tim.
WOW, I was in here looking up something else and stumbled across this little gem...glad I did since I had in mind to buy a set!! I had wondered, looking at the shape of them, now I know!
I didn't want to start a new thread with this question so hopefully this one still gets monitored.
I want to know more about this "(*Caution - it is not good for the AWD system in the X model sedan to run staggered wheels unless you remove the AWD fuse)"
Are you saying i can turn my car into a RWD? please elaborate :-)

Does anyone have any information about sedan/coupe cats that can be put on an 03.5 automatic, non-X sedan? Dealer tells me the part numbers for 03 sedan are different than 03 coupe, 03 sedan vs. 04 sedan are different, X model vs non-X model are different, etc.
Yet I know many aftermarket cats fit various years, I know I have seen some that fit 03-06 and maybe even 07. Question is, what options do I have for replacing my 03.5 sedan cats with essentially equivalent parts. Having trouble getting a used direct replacement but several members have used cats from 03, 04 and 05 coupes that I'd like to use if there are no issues.

Test pipes and aftermarket cats from the Z and coupe also fit the sedan. Before my custom exhaust and downpipes I had tried Kinetex cats for the Z and test pipes for a G coupe and both fit with no problem.

The X is only an AWD at lower speeds and when it detects a slip. If you pull the fuse it will act mostly like a RWD. You still have all the weight, etc but the front won't engage.
There is another sticky thread about the X suspension. It has turned into more of an all X thread. Read through there.
