Was responding to Trigo, not OP.

 

Oops, sorry. Wasn't paying attention.

 

is the installation simple?

 

Of all the mods I've ever done to any car, intake plenum or cams, suspension and chassis, and a tune has been the most fun, making them the few mods that are really worth what they cost. Test pipes - you'll get much better results if you're tuned for it, but until then it feels more like it's just shifting the power to the upper RPMs.

 

get a spacer and call it a day. tune you are looking at 400+ dollars and your still stock after that. A tune works best once you get MODS. the spacer take only 30mins to install and it will give you ok gains.

 

hahaha. there is a domino effect, because of the modbug principle.

spacer is an easy install. i spent a long time on it because i'm an idiot, though. but with all the DIY picture tutorials everywhere its easy peasy

 

I am new here...what are test pipes and what they do? I got an 05 G35 Sedan. I want to add an intake, spacer and will the test pipes help? thanks.

 

Test pipes are just bolt-on piping that eliminate the catalytic converters, which are the biggest funnel in your exhaust system. Freeing up the flow can mean more power.

 

Test pipes also make your car illegal to drive on a public road. Cats are not optional, they are required by law. If you're in a state that requires inspections which include emissions tests, you will fail them. Just a word of warning.

 

Thanks guys! I am receiving a Z-tube and Pop Charger in the mail today. I am sure it will turn out good. I was not aware that test pipes would make my car illegal to drive lol thanks for that warning. As long as my new setup don't make it illegal as well am good! Just need my spacers now. woot!!

 

spacer, hfc and that will all be under 500$ if you can find some bomb deals but max will be 600$ for some good gains with some increase sound
