Good day fellows, I'm very much new at this but will like some input. I began mods for my 2012 g37s 6mt sedan.
1st phase: suspension & brakes
Putting on this week, z1 slotted/drilled rotors w/ stainless steel brake line. Eibach sway bar (F&R) Cusco strut bar, KW V1 coilovers, Stillen spacers (20mm rear/15 mm front). 2011 IPL rims .
My overall goal is force induction (GTM SC) however I'm building my house and have to wait till next year around this time. So don't want to do any performance mods that would need to be changed in near future.
I've purchased the motordyne ART pipe to put on stock exhaust. Didn't want to change stock exhaust yet for few reasons. Will rather wait for SC to put on 3" pipes. Even though can put it on a NA motor, read conflicting reports so I rather not. Also want quad tips and haven't done enough research.
All that being said, would u recommend tune with only art pipes? what else can I do for performance until then?
Thx

 

A tune with only TP's isn't really worth it. I'd wait until you finish some more significant mods. The Motordyne M370 intake manifold is turbo and super compatible, so that's a worthwhile performance mod you won't need to change. You can also add in some drop-in K&N filters to your stock airboxes. Quad tips are possible, but IMO, they don't look that great on this platform and require some tweaking of the bumper.

 

Thx didn't know if I needed a tune to ensure no CEL. but I'm told ART pipes shouldn't throw CEL in ~99% of time. I'll leave as it. If lights come in then ill tune. Will also look into ur other suggestions.
