Cheap and easy performance upgrade recommendations???

What's up fellas! I have a g37 sedan and it's a lease...so I don't wanna do any major upgrades like turbo or supercharges! BUT, I wanna get some quick hp out of this beautiful engine without going overboard!
And suggestions assure from the intake/exhaust? And any proven intake/exhaust/test pipes you recommend?
Are there any engine management or piggy back setups?

I appreciate the feed back!

Since it's a lease and you are going to turn it back in I wouldn't go crazy. Just simple stuff you can take off and sell later.

cheap way to add some hp is to get some NOS vinyl and slap them on your rear window

If you don't already have an "S" emblem, get one.

Iz good forz at list x horz powerz.

Seriously, there is no "cheap" performance mod for the G. You'll need to spend around $3.5k to see ~25whp. Save your money, your lease will be up soon.

TROLOLO, I love how if you go to the bottom of the auction, they have a little banner saying "Greetings from China". No wonder it's a piece of garbage, no good product ever came out of China. I'm Chinese and my mom avoids buying Chinese made products like the plague.

There are no "cheap mods" unless you buy crap from eBay. You can buy all the regular bolt on stuff, which isn't very cheap. You won't notice any significant gains from this, but since it is a lease, save yourself the headache and just do the bolt on $hit! Even then, you won't notice much! Good luck

Get test pipes and sway bars. Both are very good bang for the buck mods.

+1 ... This is the cheapest you can go if you want to see some gains. Make sure to get a tune to utilize max potential. Although i would mention it that don't expect crazy gains as the car is pretty solid performer from the factory. Look into TP's as well if the intermittent exhaust smell doesn't bother you. Breathing mods is your best bet. Other than that, maybe a good set of grounding wires to prevent loss. Hit up "BlackBetty" on here as he makes them in house.
Use the "Modding 411" section if you need to know your options. Variety of tunes available. I personally like Cobbs AP. GL and happy modding !!
