Yeah I didnt want to say anything and jinx myself lol but honesty I haven't heard the dreaded decel hiss yet, I didn't even hear it in the video I posted... I plan on getting a few better videos with some launches, tunnels, and better/higher revs but unfortunately today it's pouring out. I'm wondering if it isn't as prominent when the exhaust is first installed but becomes more noticeable as the pipes become more seasoned? I did mention the hiss to my brother in law as we were working on the install fully expecting to hear it after we got around to reving it a few times, and since he's not as familiar with the g platform or FI, I figured he would think we had a leak. But honestly I didn't hear it yet. *crosses fingers*

Also, I didn't mean to say the hiss was louder, but your exhaust sounds louder than mine initially and your cats are resonated, unlike mine. Probably the video sound quality though.
Either way, car sounds great and I bet you are stoked. I can't get enough of the look and sound of the FI exhaust setup as it's hands down one of the best. Enjoy.

Regarding the exhaust, I always thought it would be fun to do this with a video camera: Set a camera up on looking *up* the road, and run the car up to the camera, passing it hard. Then do it all over again with the camera turned around, looking *down* the road. Edit the two videos and clip the scenes together at the point when the car passes the camera. You'll get the video and the sound as it approaches, with the video and sound as it races by.

Hey guys, I'm a noob here so bear with me. I have a 2013 g37x sedan. I need some help determining a tire size/wheel size. I don't want to stagger my wheels. I want to go with a 20" rim. I plan on lowering it soon with ksport coil overs will this mean I need camber kits for front and rear? Can someone recommend me an offset that will work for this as well? I really don't want to rub or roil fenders. If I'm in the wrong place can you shoot me a link to where I can get this info? Thanks in advance guys!

Unless there's been a new sport set up that I'm not aware of I don't think that they make coilovers for the X. We seem to be fairly limited on our options I'm afraid. Depending on how low you're going you may not need camber kits but I imagine if you're going coils you're going to wind up fairly low so I would suggest planning for them. If nothing else it's easier to get everything suspension related done at the same time. I'm running Fortune 500s on Swift springs although I'm going to get new springs, a little longer and up the rates, in the next couple weeks. I'm on 19s with a subzero gap in the back and just slightly over a zero gap in the front on my X.

Sacs, that definitely looks like too much negative camber and no tire will survive under that scenario. I spent 3 years in my college days working for Discount Tire and saw it all the time on dropped cars. Maybe a camber kit would help add some back in. Or are you running that much negative to tuck under the fender? Looks like you basically wore through all the steel belts and into the nylon cord layer.
I got 53k miles out of my Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires that I had on my 19's. Bear in mind that I wasn't dropped and had stock suspension but I still had inner shoulder wear. When you're running a tire that wide and flat, any amount of negative camber beyond stock puts tremendous wear on that inside edge.
If you can, I'd say get some camber kits to bring it back within spec if possible. That really sucks to only get 7k miles out of them though.

Yes I have SPC rear camber kit that was installed orionally when rims/tires went on. After much more research with my alignment sheets from before...I was running -3 camber so the wear is a no brainer there....but the 5k miles is still a concern imo. At this point I will never regret going 20's, even though a 19" would have allowed for a much better fit spec wise. I am down from the 295/30's to a 275/30 in the rear now and my camber is at -1.7 so I should see a nice increase in wear and life of the tires. I HOPE

looking to buy em. Yay or Nay?
I would have to pull the fender and put a small camber to not poke out like crazy. (No crazy camber)
PS. They are alot lighter than the IPL Enkei.
