G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Can a small exhaust leak lead to a noticeable power loss?
Replacing my drivers side rear axle I noticed water dripping between my midpipe and muffler. Found a gap between the flanges so I bent them back straight and put a new gasket between them. The car feels noticeably peppier than before, especially with initial acceleration. I know it's not my imagination, but the only thing that changed was sealing off that leak.

FITMENT QUESTION!!!
04 Sedan, full revised Z suspension, slightly rolled front fenders, unrolled rears.
Found a set of wheels I'm in love with, but they only come in 18x9.5 et20.
What am I looking at in terms of camber and tire size? Fenders and rear quarters will eventually be rolled flat.

Yea our ball joints are made without grease fittings most of the time they make noise there perfectly fine they just go dry im working on adding a grease fitting or some type of fix for it to test it spray WD40 on your joint above your tires if its now quiet you've found your problem

^Kinda depends on what you mean by "in charge of"
G35Driver was sold to InternetBrands, so technically, they're in charge of the site itself.
Robb M. is the point of contact for IB
But if it's related to something more along the lines of changing a username, or if you account status is wrong, etc... contact one of the 'Red Username' admins.

^ you have a 5lb sledge in your tool box? your in FL, rotors aren't as bad there.
in the midwest when all the salt. you get rotors rusted to hubs completely. never needed 5lb sledge. maybe you weren't hitting it right (thats what she said)
small love taps are better then beating the crap out of one.

^I started with small love taps with a ball-peen hammer, then graduated to more convincing blows with a regular claw hammer and still got nowhere, so I beat the holy hell out of it with a 5lb sledge, and whaddaya know it came off ![Bowrofl](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/bowrofl.gif)
The fronts just fell off, and also the other side in the back wasn't as bad.
Don't ask me![Dunno](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
oh and yes, I had released the parking brake. I even spun the little adjustment thing to retract the shoes completely.
