I want to get a new exhaust and don't really want to wait a long time without doing any mods.. So I currently don't have enough $$ to get an HKS or something, but found a guy here selling his injen SAS i think for a good price. Now, should I look into buying that (do you think it's too loud for me?) or should I get some tints and get the exhaust in a long time ? Or if you know of another exhaust that isnt too pricey, let me know.

 

how much is to pricey..you can get a nismo exhaust for around $700

 

but then i'd have to extend it wouldn't i? I mean I'm just a kid and don't work that often.. I could save up a bit more and buy it, but I was more into the immediate modding stage lol

 

Sway bars if you haven't upgraded them yet.

 

those before exhaust? what about camber too?

 

how much do you exactly have to spend?
For starter mods I'd go with MD spacer/intake/drop.

I was in your same situation recently and opted to go with the drop/camber kit. I got intake+5/16" MD spacer next on my list..but wishing I did that first now.. 350z H-techs are barely noticeable

 

You're not dropping the car with sway bars so you won't have to worry about camber. You're just eliminating excess sway so your car can handle better. Suspension would be nice to go with that too, but just remember the most important part of your suspension is the struts and sway bars. The drop comes last unless you want the look that bad.


It really depends on the motor in his car. If he has the revup motor, then the spacer alone isn't worth anything. For how much the MREV2 costs, he might as well get an exhaust like he wants to.

 

i dont have a revup.. i have an 05 5AT so the spacer wouldnt do much for me i dont think.. an intake is next on my list, but i thought an exhaust would make a more noticeable difference in purchasing first

 

o yea I forgot about that..I dont have revup :/
In that case I'd do..
1) Intake
2) Drop
2) Exhaust
3) MREV2 + Spacer

Or if you can be REAL patient you can save up for new wheels.

 

If that's the case, then the spacer or upper plenum is a good mod for you. The exhaust will make noise, but not much power, as where the spacer should give you more power per dollar. I have an extra spacer too, btw...

 

well it seems youre pretty set on exhausts..lol just go with it then hahaha
I'll give you a tip on saving money quickly..





DONT COME TO G35DRIVER

 

it sounds like your set in getting the HKS, so if i were you save up for it. in the mean time, you can do other non-pricey mods (ie tint, intake, clear corners, overlays, incabin mods, etc). if you are really itching to make a statement, then wheels are a must. g/l

 

I thought these were only good noticeable gains for the rev-up motors?

anyways there are just so many options lol.. i mean i'm not that set on getting the HKS, it just seems like a lot of people are happy with it. I'm not too bothered by loud noise, although I haven't heard in person what the injen sounds like. Does anyone here have an injen exhaust that I could listen to in Northern Cali?
I was originally going to get tints, and debadge the back. The guy at my bodyshop told me that an intake won't do much without an exhaust upgrade to go along with it, so I was thinking of doing those two now that I can get the injen for a good price, and save the tints/drop for later.
and since I don't have the rev-up, would the sways + strut be worth getting before an exhaust upgrade?
