Boosted Performance round 2 list

Based on my research in preparation for the BP kit it appears that the y-pipe for the G and Z are the same and to be honest it makes sense considering that Nissan would want as many pieces similar as possible to limit R&D and fabrication between the two platforms.

However, would be very interested to know from Stillen that this is in fact true.


While you're on the phone with Stillen, if it's not to much of a bother ask them what the specific differences between the G37 and 370Z Gen 3 intake actually are. I know the filters are different, but it'd be nice to know what if any the rest of the differences are. I've got a buddy with a Nismo and I'd like to pass my intake on to him once I go boosted.

this is what i did find on myg37.com josh from stillen
"you wouldn't have the bracket and hardware to secure the filters. The filters from the 370 kit lay on the bumper beam and therefore don't utilize a bracket. that includes the piping, not to mention the splash shield and other hardware that isn't present on the 370Z kit"
