My G35 sedan has been transformed in the last 7 days!
It is so much more enjoyable to drive now, I can't stop driving
it. 7 days ago the HKS rear section exhaust went on.
5 days ago the ECU/TCU grounding wires were installed.
1 day ago my 4 POS EL42s were replaced by 235/50/17
V rated Kuhmo tires! I drive to work every morning at 5:45 am
and the streets are empty. I had such a great drive to
work this morning. The car is so much more
responsive now. The "stick to the road" feel is back with
the new tires. I can't wait till the next time I get to drive it!
AHHHHHHH! I can't get out of the G!

Hey Cato! How's the HKS exhaust? Is it too loud? I'm asking you this ? because i'm thinking of getting it and would like the sound to be around the factory level or just a little deeper.

That's exactly what this HKS exhaust has done! There is
a deeper note to the exhaust. It is intoxicating at mild
acceleration. I find myself letting off the accelerator just
so I can do mild acceleration. It's like playing a musical
instrument. I love It!

The HKS Exhaust, is it a cat-back or just the rear section. You mentioned that the sound wansn't to loud, this is exactly what I am looking for. Better performance, deeper note without the loud obnoxoius sound. How much did you have to pay and where did you purchase from. Thanks.

 

I bought the HKS dual tip rear section exhaust from mbarrad
here on the board. He is selling his G35 sedan and I bought
the exhaust from him at a bargan. I checked the HKS web
site and they are selling this exhaust for $525. I have seen
it sold for less elsewhere.

Thanks for the info. Cato!!

 

I see you are enjoying the HKS. I am happy for you. Congratz on your Gfreak status! For those interested in the HKS exhaust, go to www.optauto.com. They are the cheapest so far.

Thanks for letting me be part of your 'Transformation!'[img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Any of the headache-inducing "droning" some have complained about from their aftermarket exhausts. Not sure which brands.

 

I have not noticed any of the oft reported "droning". I am
liking it more and more. I have even entertained the thought
of modding my wifes 2000 Maxima! I have already put on
the FSTbrace and Stillen rear sway bar. What about a
Pop-charger and exhaust as well?

Man...I had a ton of fun with my '00 and '02 maxima. I had it modded up the ying yang. maxima.org is a great place for ideas and questions.
