Any tips for painting the stock grill?

 

Search it here there's a thread about that with pictures.

 

There is a DIY under tech area

 

Random little question: I am trying to purchase a new 2006 G35x sedan. Took it to my mechanic and he said it has a problem in the exhaust system where the exhaust meets the muffler apparently it has leaking/wear I'm not completely sure. Long story short would this exhaust (Megan OE-RS catback) work on my car without having to get a new Y-pipe/other exhaust parts? The Y pipe is in good shape.

Thanks in advance

 

Have FI high flow cats, sounds good to me. Have removed the z-tube.

 

Are they necessary? Will my exhaust sound shitty if I don't have them? I'm on a pretty tight budget. I figured if I need to replace part of the exhaust may as well get a catback system now especially at that price.

 

No, but it allows for a "better flow". I had the ztube on but prefer stock.

The rest of my exhaust system is fine/stock, for now.

 

Besides wanting better flow, I should be fine using that system with all other stock parts though?

 

I live in Staten Island NY, which Plenum would u guys recommend ? 5/16" Thermal or Iso thermal ? lmk

 

^All you really need is the spacer itself

 

Get the iso thermal gasket that goes between the lower intake premium and the motor. The coolant bypass isn't necessary, but the gasket should help lower intake temps quite a bit.

 

Vendors are telling me to go with copper iso thermal spacer because i drive it in the winter

 

Of course they are, its more expensive

 

Anyone ever do a road tune before? There's no awd dynos within 1000 miles from me.

 

I do them all the time.. as long as you have an 04 or newer it works out great. You leave a couple HP on the table vs a dyno tune, but its a lot cheaper
