ROFL @ SwivelHips.. seriously.. i want $1000 for X-mas...

ya i live in north jersey so its going to be snowing out here so thank god i got the awd but i would like to finish my exhaust so it sounds brolic as hell and prob drop my car. If i do my exhaust would it be better to do 3 inch piping all around with headers and high flow cats or do the same thing with an xyz tube and get a second muffler....with the coupe midpipe of course lol

and for the headers if i was going to spend around 500 on them which type should i get for best performance and sound? Like DC Sports headers or something like that? and for the record im not rich i just have a lot of relatives and thats how much i usually get for christmas/Hanuka combined lol

haha my man your all over the place... check out Stillen... but you realize your gonna lose a ****load of low end torque once you put those puppies on. Unless your planning to get a tune.. and "slamming" your car for the winter isnt a great idea.. and the idea of a second muffler and cm is gonna add a good amount of weight to your car.. besides that fact that you dont have hangers or brackets, so you'll need to go to an exhaust shop.. its gonna be pricey...

headers are really expensive.. usually people who install headers for you charge the price of the header's itself -_-

drop wise, like ace says, wait until spring. thats what im doing at least. i got some diesel *** dunlop m3 winter tires on for now

ha ya i was going to wait for spring to drop my car i just wanted to see what people think. im not going to get rims either till the spring just in case cuz of the snow and **** too...ill prob finish my exhaust upgrading to 3" piping probably either with some type of headers or get some high flow cats

^^ Once again, headers and 3" piping are not your best mods unless you really need that flow -- check ttrank's exhaust build thread for his TT sedan.

But if you're dead-set on headers, here are some for a good price:

Thanks for that link I might get those as my headers but any other suggestions about what i should do performance wise besides the exhuast? I was thinking of a little engine dress up too or something along those lines

Performance exhausst: Stillen Gen2 exhaust if you don't mind some noise

Dressup: CF engine cover, strut bar, Nismo/Arc rad cap, oil cap, etc., polish your plenum.

Dress ups are really DIY, and dont cost that much.. if you got the money then do performace first.. the performance i did was in this order:
Intake
Plenum Spacer
HKS muffler
Berk HFC - HR Y pipe - Coupe middy
Waiting on my Cobb accessport and a pro-tune.

i dont think im planning on doing headers... like i said.. you might loose low end power with headers.. so consider where exactly you want your power... don't just dump money into parts because everyone else is doing it.. you might end up with something you werent expecting..

So I was thinking of doing a few relatively cheap mods to keep me happy with my 03 5AT for now... (I plan on buying an 05-06 6MT when I save up some more green)

I already have the coupe midpipe, K&N drop-in filter... soo pretty much stock.

I was thinking of doing these next:
Plenum Spacer
HKS axle-back muffler

I also have highly considered doing a K40 Calibre hidden radar system (I'm moving out to Virginia... and radar is illegal out there, and I have a hardwired V1 now)

I also have been itching to replace all my speakers and get a sub.. I have an aftermarket single DIN with iPod/wiring for subs and another 4ch amp currently.

Here's my ride now:

^ I have two oldschool JL 12w6 subs for sale, and a monitor 1 amp, pm if interested

I would recommend plenum, jwt or other intake, and grounding kit. Then tower brace and brakes for control. You'll love driving after those are on. I guarantee it!

Reminds me of mine. Why buy a newer one? That one looks great. Here is my list so far, with more to come.

2003 G35 Sedan/Ob BLack/Sport Suspension/tinted windows/Black front marker lights/DBA 5000 rotors/Hawk performance ceramic pads/Tokico shocks and struts/Motordyne 5/16 copper Iso Thermal plenum spacer/GT Spec Tower Brace/JWT popcharger/7 wire grounding kit

been a member for a while, but with school and work, its hard to search and keep up sometimes... Is it possible to keep stock struts/shocks on a 2005 non-sport Sedan and lower with unrevised Z springs? Or would some stiffer aftermarket springs be better? I know on my previous car (tiburon) my drop was only 1.1in and my stock struts died within a month or so...... thanks
