At First I Was A Little Sad Bec The Old Car Made You Feels Like You Were Moving, It Also Made Sure That Everyone Around You Knew You Were Flying. Im Getting Used To The Silence. It Makes Me Feel Insulated And Detatched From The Road And Everyone Around Me. Nice When Tired On The Way Home From An Extremely Busy Day. But When I Do Some Spirited Driving You Miss That Deep Tone And Roar. Man I Used To Roll Up On People Driving A Prius And Blow The Doors Off The Thing Or Rev It Up At A Light Just To Show The Guy The Joy Of 18-20 Mpg. The Old System On The G35 (intake, Plenum,ecu Retune, Borla Exhaust, And High Flow Cats) Would Set Car Alarms Off All The Time. That Car Was Freakn Bad ***. Ive Seen A Guy With A Gs That Was Worked Like That G35 Of Mine And It Made The Car Look Cheap. The Large Spoiler, Carbon Fiber Trunk, Hood, Body Kit, And Dumped. This Guys Car Looked Like He Was Doing Stuff To The Car Just To Do Stuff To The Car. As Much As I Miss The Old G35 This Is Not A Sports Sedan, The Gs350 Is A Luxury Sports Sedan. It Doesnt Share A Platform With A Sports Car. This Car Is Remain In My Opinion A Vip Car, Not Some Track Day Machine.
Well said, i was actually thinking about making it louder, but changed my mind because of this

You're going to need to let us know what you're running....suspension, rims (size/offsets) and tire sizes.
