Man right now its past the fun!!! Its getting to be a pain in the a**. I was going to take it to dealership but its way to much $$$$ so there is a shop down the street from my house that works on nothing but Imports and the prices are half of what the dealer quoted me.

^^^ you work on cars a lot or what??? lol... all i know is that my car not running haha naw i really did not even get close to touching the O2 sensors. Would anything else cause them to mess up???
You didnt have to uninstall or re-install the O2 sensors in the new exhaust? I work on cars, but haven't done much on G35 exhaust. But Im familiar w/ how the ECU works. Failed O2 sensors usually dont cause the ECU to run open loop, but an unplugged MAF will
I'm not sure if it would solve your problem but my 04 was doing the same thing and after an Air Idle Relearn it was fine. No idea why an exhaust change would cause that problem but it's something fairly simple you could try. There are some threads on here about how to do it. My dealer did mine for free.
