what exactly is a clamp down exhaust and is that a bad thing? and i agree about the true dual and am not considering doing anything else, is the borla not a true dual?
i do plan to do Berk HFC after my intake. do you think adding the berk to the ARK would make their tone a little louder and lower? and do you think it is actually a noticeable difference in gains doing one or the other?

Borla
ARK
When adding HFC to either systems will make it a lot louder, and most the time will cause somewhat of a raspy whistle, It is very common. Not so bad as if you were running TP's but you get the idea.. As far as In cabin drone it is very minimal due to our X flow mid pipe and dual resonated canisters. A way to not have to sacrifice perfect tone for performance.
Here is a few dyno charts we have taken of the g35 coupe grip exhaust comparing it side by side with a NISMO " same style as borla " Shared muffler/ Non true dual. It is of Stock to install. ( nothing other than cat back)
For more information please contact me.

This thread is just a place for me to keep track of the progression of my vehicle. All questions and criticisms are welcome!
Mod List:
-Passport 8500 w/ Invisicord & Mike's Mount
-iPhone ProClip w/ custom wire running
-6000k interior & parking light LED's
-Partial trunk de-badge [removed G35S]
-Input/video lockout bypass
-Custom bass level control mounted inside ashtray
-Alpine SWR-1242D powered by Alpine MRP-M500 w/ custom built box firing forward through rear seat pass-thru
-Eibach Pro-Kit Springs
Running Mod Total = $1,017.61
Well I started with a 2007 G35s Sedan Garnet Ember/Graphite fully loaded w/ NAV & Bose.
First Mod was to find a cleaner solution for my radar detector. Ordered the Invisicord so I could hook up to my mirror to lose the power cord across my dash and Mike's Mount to get rid of the suction cups so that my sun reflector could be put up behind the detector and save it from the sun.
My only complaint here is that the piece of the original mount you use along with Mike's Mount is too thin to properly rest in the Passport. This causes rattling. I just shoved a plastic wedge in the back to make it secure and haven't had any problems. I later found http://www.blendmount.com/ which looks to be a much nicer mount and solves the rattling problem with a spring loaded clip. But my mount is working out fine and was $60 cheaper.
Next, I needed a solution for my iPhone. I charge it in my car and use it for music and videos.
I found the ProClip to be a really clean mount that looks like it came from the dealership this way. Happy with its location and quality. I have drilled a hole just behind the mount and in the console to run the wires [power and AV] inside the console instead of outside. No more cord getting in the way when I try to shut my console!
Zhao, a friend on strictlygs.com, then started selling LED's so I went ahead and did those. All interior and exterior.
I took the picture of the parking light that way to show the stress cracks that have formed on my headlights. Already failed once at getting it replaced under warranty, will be trying a new dealership next maintenance.
De-badged my trunk.
[Pic MIA]
Only removed the "G35s" lettering. Still considering removing the "Infiniti" lettering from under the Mt. Fuji symbol, but I like the way it keeps things centered. Also considering just taking it all off, just can't make up my mind.
Next I finally did the input/video lockout bypass. Located the VSS switch in the console just above the AV inputs.
I have a hole drilled just under the AV cables to run the wires inside the console to the iPhone mounted by the shifter. If you look closely you can see how I messed up. I was in a hurry and slipped with my drill bit and ate away some of the felt between the 12v and AV :Grimmace:
While I had the dash apart doing that previous project, I decided to wire up my bass level control **** and hide it in the ashtray.
I love how hidden it can be but at times is a little annoying to access. It's fine and not a problem when the shifter is in Drive, but is cramped when in Park.
Next I installed my Alpine SWR-1242D powered by an Alpine MRP-M500 in a custom built box firing forward through rear seat pass-thru that I fabricated myself. It seals up flust against the back seat. This was my first time to wire a vehicle and my first box to ever build. Wow was I happy when everything came together and it actually all worked

I need to figure out how to remove the plastic door between the armrest and the pass-thru.
Time for the drop! picked em up used for $120
Working hard!
Finally taking my victory lap
Thanks to all the members of strictlygs.com who came out to the meet and lent their hands and knowledge!
Time for me to pick up some 20's. anyone happen to know the optimum width/offset for my vehicle on eibachs? lookin for the agressive flush look but not too aggressive to where im gonna have to worry about rubbing.
Thanks for you input!

Nice G man! I've got the same year, same model (but I went cheap--non Sport, no nav) but I do have the Sport wheels...so your thread is great for me to see how the mods would look on my car.
Can you post anymore pics of the car with the drop and a pic of the debadged trunk? Do you like the way the car feels after the drop? Any issues?
Sorry for all the questions, but again...nice G and can't wait to see the exhaust! I think I'll be going the FI route if I ever get enough $$$ to buy it.

i havent had any issues after the drop and love the feel of it. theres a good bit less body roll in turns. im getting my alignment done this week
no joke about having to save up the money! i didnt plan on buying one for a while because of that but i was able to get a really good deal on their system right now
i didnt really play with it. i love where the box is and built it for it to be this way so dont really want to change it. i like being able to watch it bang through the pass-thru
