Why, because a $90 muffler does the same job of the $1500 HKS system?

It's proven that you can't get any real hp out of these car without FI anyway. The weight savings is nothing on a 4000 lb car.
Flowmaster has been the premiere performance muffler company in the US for a long time and has proven their quality.

I say good buy and glad someone did this. If I keep my G, I will have my exhaust guy put my flowmaster crossover in.

Why does your G35 weigh 500-600 pounds more than everyone elses? You must have that special lead-paint job option and a tank full of leaded gas.

The curb weight of the car is 3422 lbs. Take two people, thats an extra 350 lbs. And how many of us actually run around with an empty trunk. Ill add my golf bag and shoes, work boots, tennis rackets, and one ful change of clothes, theres probably another hundred pounds of stuff in the car. So, using basic addition, the car goes down the road at 3872 lbs.

I'm a mechanical engineer. For all practical purposes, when you compare two objects, one at 3872 lbs, and one at 4000 lbs, they behave the same. There are too many outside factors that could come into play for 128 lbs to matter in this automobile. This isn't like we're talking about an Elise. We drive slow cars, anyway.

Also, how much weight does the HKS really save over stock. The whole stock exhaust weighs less than a hundred lbs probably. Even if you took it at 60% weight savings, which I highly doubt, you would only save like 60 lbs.
60lbs on a 3872 lb car is 1.5%. Bravo. Your car is now a ****!ng rocketship.

Get over yourself. You must have had that special lead paint chip eating option as a baby.

Wow.. what a dick you are. I made a friendly, jovial response about the weight of our car, because you wrongly said they weighed 4K pounds, and you fire back with an assenine response like that.

I'm also an engineer and work for the DOD, so don't get all high and mighty and act like you're sh$t's don't smell and you're the only one with a brain floating around in your dome.

The fact of the matter is exactly as I stated it... our cars don't weigh 4K pounds. The car weighs 3450 with full fluids and all the factory equipment installed.... and the stuff inside it weighs some variable amount more, depending on how much is in there.

Since you're an engineer, you know what a variable is... and you should know that you need to eliminate as many of them as possible from the equation when comparing 2 similar objects.... in this case the variable being the weight of the passengers inside the car or the cargo.

If you want to play that game, then the door swings both ways... we can also say that the person driving the car might have a nearly empty tank of gas(gas weighs about 6.3 pounds per gallon X (20.5 gallon tank - 1 gallon) = about 123 pounds subtracted from the curb weight) and maybe doesn't have their spare tire or jack in the trunk, and has an optima battery, an empty windshield washer reservoir, and lightweight rims. Think about it... in all honestly, this is the type of person who's most likely going to be concerned about saving weight on exhaust and wanting to go faster at the track... he's not going to be seriously racing his car with a full tank of gas, 3 passengers, 300 pounds of gear in his trunk and 2 mountain bikes strapped on his rear bumper.

Curb weight is what we talk about because it's measurable and constant.

Don't misconstrue this discussion as if I were trying to say that a lightweight exhaust is going to make a huge difference in our cars... because I agree, it won't. Exhaust weight savings mostly matter on streetbikes and dirtbikes where the power to weight ratio is much higher and the exhaust weight to vehicle curb weight is greater.
