Yep... that's what I was thinking. You should be able to get an '03/04 Coupe for a significant amount less than that with that kind of mileage on it. I would personally just look for a car with lower millage rather than cheaping out on one that has a ton of miles just to save a few bucks... especially since you said you wanted to hang onto it for a bit.

Here is the thread i started when I began researching TRUE DUAL for the sedan, Im sure TunerMAX has more info to provide. Like mentioned before, do it right or don't do it at all.
https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...ust-sedan.html
Check this link out also, it provides good info from Tony (Motordyne) on back pressure vs scavenging and how to properly engineer a dual exhaust system for the VQ35DE Engine.

You DO NOT want to sound like any of these sedans

A few points for you. First, know that I plan on doing a true dual exhaust on my sedan, and I have researched this.
1. This is not easy. The only half-way easy route would be to do it without resonators or mufflers. And that will sound like garbage, not to mention being WAY too loud and obnoxious. It's not a Civic, have some class
2. Unless you use mufflers and resonators, it will sound loud and raspy, like a fart can
The only exception to this is the True dual exhaust from Motordyne, but it's not designed for the Sedan, and is very expensive
3. No matter what way you do it, you have to move a bunch of stuff on the right side of the car, mostly, the charcoal canister. This is probably one of the bigger problems you will have with doing a dual exhaust on the sedan. The most common route is to delete the spare tire and install the canister in the spare tire well, custom job, of course. Plus there is a risk of gas fumes going into the cabin. legally, you cant do it, but people do.
4. If you are serious, know that you will NOT be able to do this job for less than $1000, and that's if you do EVERYTHING yourself, with used materials. That is also WITHOUT touching the Cats at all.
More likely, if you have to pay someone to do this work, it will cost you $2000 MINIMUM, probably more. And if you want it to sound good and still create power, without rasp and fart-can noise, it will DEFINATELY cost more than $2000.
For reference, I have about $1000 invested in my exhaust so far, and I still need to buy resonators, piping, flanges, hangers, rubbers, charcoal canister, hoses for charcoal canister, misc hardware, gaskets, plus pay a buddy to TIG weld it all up when it's ready.
I'm doing all of it myself, except the final TIG welds (because I dont' have a TIG).
That is factoring High Flow Cats and resonated test pipes on my setup. I'll probably be lucky to have the project done under $1700.

seriously I was thinking about 300$.
I thought I'd just unbolt the canister from its spot and relocate and adjust the hoses as needed.
then it'd be 300$ for the shop to install 2 mufflers and some piping with 2 dual exhaust upwards pointing tips.
damn was I wrong lol.

Really? a couple of decent mufflers would cost that much. Have you fixed your airbags yet?

& I've only fixed the driver side airbag.
who cares about my passenger right? jk.
I don't have that much money laying around to play with right now. I did just get a new job and the pay out is expected to be nice. so if it goes well ill get a dash for it.
I have still been driving on foglights for the past 2 weeks lol.
I finally ordered some hid bulbs yesterday.
I was thinking of selling the G, and with that, buying 2 semi crashed ones from copart.com and having a shop just fix the body then me sell them for more cash.
is this a realistic thought or am I just insane?

any scrapped car is now salvage title, you can't make much money off them regardless, and especially not if you are actually paying someone else to do the repair work.
Plus they need to have full safety inspections after repair including a specialized shop checking the frame for bends, etc, before they can be re-licensed for the road.
You can't JUST fix the body, you have to fix everything.
In short, it's a dumb idea, even if you can do everything yourself it's still not a money making idea.
