Whats up guys my name is Chris and I'm new to this forum. I was a member on a Honda webboard for 5 years and just switched over to Nissan in September. I've been checking out some threads but still don't know too much about the aftermarket scene for Nissan. Just wondering what a good setup for my G35 would be. Its a 2005 6MT. I want a little more pep but not too much difference in sound. I am looking into a Nismo catback exhaust so far. As for intakes I dont know if I really want one because I dont want anything too loud. I had a 2000 Accord, 2002 RSX-S and a 2005 RSX-S and had an AEM CAI on all. But with VTEC they were extremely loud. I dont know anybody with a G35 or 350z around with any upgrades. I noticed alot of you have Z tubes. And alot of talk about spacers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

that catback exhaust might be louder than any intake upgrade....anyone disagree ?

 

Chris,

Congrats on your new G and a warm welcome to the boards. If you are seeking the best "Bang For The Buck," I would highly suggest Motordyne's MREV mod. It was created specifically with the '05 6MT in mind. It adds gobs of hp and torque. This is an excellent first mod. Perform a search for the MREV and you will be reading for quite a bit. Good luck and have fun!

 

HKS Hi power dual (ti) exhaust . . . =)

 

Thanks everybody for the welcome and for your input. So my gf bought me the Motordyne MREV Plus for Christmas, got it at end of January (backorder) and it is a very noticable hp upgrade with no difference in sound. But I bought a JWT popcharger w/the Z tube combo and holy crap at WOT it is pretty damn loud. But oh well so much for the quiet car. I also ordered the Nismo exhaust last night so I will post pics as soon as I can. Thanks again for the info.

Chris

 

Sounds like a great setup, Chris...congrats and enjoy.
Post pics soon.

congrats and welcome...Chris...

 

after you added the jwt, did you feel like the mrev/jwt combo made noticibly more hp than just the mrev alone?

 

yeah actually I did feel a little more pull. My gf even commented on it. I was just surprised by the sound the most. At idle and just cruisin around it is quiet besides the slight whistle/suck sound. Then I got into it a little and....damn!!!! But I love the performance so I can deal with the sound. Thats why I went ahead and got the exhaust. Hopefully I can get it on this weekend if it gets here in time. I'll def post pics. Oh and is $880 plus $50 for extension a good price? I'm used to the $450 Honda/Acura catbacks. Oh well its too late now anyway.
