Hey guys sorry been MIA for a few days. (Back now). Anyway the g37 coupe it says by my link is the same part #, so order it. (If you check the "applications" and then scroll down you can see the same part Number for the g35 07-08 sedan as the g37.) Yes it is the "correct" link that I posted earlier. I'll email them and tell them to update their website.

I'll take a video tomorrow with my wife's camera and youtube it. As far as driving I have noticed huge performance gains, but I think that has to do with it being 20 degrees cooler than normal the past few days LOL. As far as any heat soak or anything I really can't notice any performance decreases... My K&N was that same temps (too hot to touch after hard driving) even with their heat shields. I still light up my rear tires if I floor it, and it definitely sounds awesome. I can't give an accurate description on performance since we have had a cold snap (55 at night and 80 during day). My normal temps are 95ish in the hot summer. The reason I can't is because I definitely notice huge gains from colder weather. I'll post some vid's tomorrow and it's suppose to be hot again this week.

I do like it... BUT... it took a year for me to fully like it.

It took that long for the exhaust to settle down and get fully broken into. 30,000km to be exact.

Initially, I felt it was too loud and there was a drone at some moderate speed. It was a love hate relationship. But now its perfect. No more drone. No more "too loud" exhaust note. Its finally aged like fine wine. lol

People always said they had no drone with F1. Just an FYI. But its more expensive I hear.

I'm doing my part in this economy to save money..... J/K..... I honestly didn't think about it until I got home and started uploading the movies. I'll try and get a DS mode (or maybe Manual) I just need a friend to hold the camera so I can cut loose more.

Do you think this is an easy DIY? Even for someone who hasn't worked on a car before? I would love to save a few bucks and do it myself.

It's very easy. They have a step by step guide (with pictures) for every step. The only tools you definitely need are a 10mm Socket Wrench, a Phillips Head Screwdriver, and a flashlight. Just have patience if this is your first time doing it and plan to not have to drive anywhere for about 2 hours. You will be done in about 45 minutes to an hour but I always factor in extra time in case you drop a screw or something. If you have any questions you can always PM me and I can help you out in anyway I can.
