Smile 06 G35x intro

Hi there,
I have been a lurker for awhile and just now decided to introduce myself.
Names David, I live in Virginia and I am currently working for Kroger as a produce manager.
I have had my 06 G35x for a while now and have started to get the mod itch again.
Before the G i had an 03 SRT-4 to tinker with, that was a fun car. Too fun that someone had to wreck it. I currently also have a 98 Eclipse GST that is modded out.

Current mods on the 06 G35x:
sxexcx's custom grounding wires
UTR's carbon fiber Z tube
Stillen hi-flow intake
Motordyne 5/16" Copper Iso Thermal plenum spacer (installing tomorrow)
R1 Concepts rotors (Eline Cross-Drilled & Slotted)
Hawk pads (HPS)
Gates racing performance micro V drive belts
NGK Iridium Spark Plugs
Statik complete LED's
G35driver.com license plate frame
K&N oil filter HP-1010 (larger size)
5W-30 pennzoil platinum synthetic oil

Now the question on future mods:
Brake cover
G35 coupe mid pipe- will this make a sound difference?
hr-y-pipe- not sure If i need this?
Sebring muffler- i love the sound this muffler makes, also looks stock.
After exhaust setup I woild like to follow with suspension.
I heard 350z sport shocks and springs would do nicely on the X?

Thank you for the intro and for any advice and info.
Here are some intro photos....

Don't do brake covers. Do it right with a bbk or paint your stock calipers silver or black.

hmm.... do you plan on just doing "stock" mods? or do you plan on getting some aftermarket mods? i personally prefer going aftermarket on exhaust and suspension. dont know much about y pipes, mid pipes.... theres a compliation thread on x's suspension... just search it on the search bar..

if you want to go with springs id suggest MEGAN or H&R Springs.... best drops for sedans period if you dont decided to go with coils.... theyre pricey.

I had my mid-pipe replaced with a magnaflow resonator, deeper tone, sounds better. Personally, I went with a motordyne XYZ pipe and i like it alot.

Clean start! If you're interested in going lower though I'd save up for some coilovers.

Well I installed the Motordyne 5/16" Copper Iso Thermal plenum spacer.
Took longer than expected due to a throttle body allen bolt striping out.
Funny how one stupid bolt can cause so much angony.
Car sounds a little different, I notice she has a smoother power band and hold's gear right untill red line. I am still trying to figure out what exhaust I would like.

Stillen or tanabe.

I personally believe the stillen is the best one and closest to OEM since it is a true dual exhaust set up. The only aftermarket exhaust made like that... Awesome sound power and looks awesome!
