If you also get the 350Z intake tube (z-tube) it sounds pretty amazing as well. That part number is 16576-CD000 but you should buy a pre-owned one because they're fairly expensive from the dealership. If you get the Z-tube you will also need the 350Z PCV hose from the intake to the left side valve cover.

You could also get the Stillen intake which is a direct copy of the Z-tube but has the PCV hose location in the same spot so the original Infiniti one will work. Pretty good price on the Stillen one but you need to keep your OEM flexible coupling where it attaches to the throttle body. The 350Z intake it's all one moulded piece.

Picked up a lightly used and unrusted 350z STOCK exhaust locally. Can I just bolt my 8" extension from my aftermarket exhaust to it and call it a day?

Would prefer to not have to deal with cutting and welding extensions. Want a bolt in 350Z stock boi to G35 extension. Hope it's this easy.

The airbox cover arrived in the mail today. I can't wait to get home and check it out. I do have the Stillen Z-tube already installed

Tue only part of the system that had shorter dimensions is the midpipe. Adding the extension between the midpipe and muffler is all you need to do.

If memory serves correctly aren't the 350Z tips shorter than the ones on the G coupe muffler? It'll still fit but might not look right.

You are correct, they are a bit shorter. The Resonator section must be the shorter bit, or the Y pipe. I put the extension between the Y and the middy. It wouldn't make sense to go between the rear muffler and the resonator section.

I forgot the y pipe 2 bolt gaskets the first time. Screamed internally a bit lol.

Amazingly quiet now. It's nice. I miss quiet. It drone so damn much with the HKS rep. It was like 30% better with the Magnaflow mid pipe too.

Infiniti G35 Sedan RWD
Debadge

I have a 2005 g35 sedan. I want to debadge the Infiniti part on it. But I heard the letters might leave an outline on your car since the paint around them has faded does anyone think this will happen?

Welcome to the forum, Zklastorin!

I debadged mine at the dealership when I got it, and there were already some faint traces that remained for over a year. With your car, after 14-15 years of being out in the sun, the paint underneath the letters will almost certainly look newer than the surrounding paint. What you can try is remove one of the letters to see how it looks, and if it's really obvious, then put that letter back on using some plastic emblem trim adhesive

I took the INFINITI off my car when I bought it in 2016 when it was 12 years old. Should answer your question.

Depends on the color really, black will usually have no issue. However your clear coat will have oxidized and it gains a "yellow" tint which is noticeable on some colors, typically the brighter the color the more noticeable. Also, with newer paint I think what most people end up with is ghosting of the ADHESIVE around the edge of where the letters used to be. Proper debadging means using polishing compound and a buffer when you're done. Properly polished there will be no outline on new paint.

Yeah, no outlines on mine but definitely a color difference. But I hate that huge INFINITI on the back.

Base model G35
Hi, I just got my 05 G35 yesterday. For some reason, the brake light on the dashboard won't come on when I step on the "Hand brake". I saw online that it has to do with some kind of spring that got loosen when release too fast? How can I fix it?

Will 350z test pipes fit on the G35? Or are they different lengths?
