Maybe I should put them in fancy bright colored packaging, slap some Japanese writing and a couple "JDM" and "Made in Japan" stickers on the side and jack up the price 5 times more. I bet I wouldn't be able to keep up with demand then!
HAHA sounds like a plan!! DO IT!!! and see what happens. LOL

My mpg was so horrible (180miles on a full tank)
So I got them taken off to check for leaks and bad welds. That might be the problem for horrible gas mileage. I'll put them back on when I get FI HFC and FI CF exhaust.

Thats great

Ya bro, it'll last.
If also notice the shifting under D is really smooth now and also the under M the shifting is quicker and doesnt lag as bad when you down shift.

I love it, great mod.

Enjoy it! lol

There are somethings in life that make you just go "hmm". This is one of those moments.... I had no idea that this was even an option, never mind a fix.

Are all the grounding points easy to get to? Or is this a PITA to install? It look straight forward to me. I also assume they come with directions. (probably a stupid question)

Easy install I'm guessing 25 mins if you have 0 idea what you're doing and you're a total nub to the car modding world, this was my first mod!

"Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it."

LMAO.... I have always wanted to use this quote.

Sounds good Csquared, I have seen some mods that look easy and somehow require removal of the engine. (j/k) We are new to the G35 world.... in fact we pick her up tomorrow. Just trying to learn some of the ins and outs.

Thanks for the reply and info.
