Im not sure why you guys are hating, but OP's friend is absolutely right.

If you think this 30 whp gain for 5000 is not a waste then you should ride an EVO or STI to show you what they can do with 5000.

Im speaking from experience, I went from full bolts on with tune except headers all the way to turbo on same car G37 Coupe. I went with TT because I felt nothing.. no harder pulls no neck breaker no nothing!!

"IF" I wanna stay NA, I would sell my intakes and test pipe and go back to stock just leaving aftermarket exhaust and not because of gains but because of sound.

I wont mod. I dont need the extra sound or power. The car will double the US posted speed limit on any freeway in the US.
I can sit on the limiter here in Germany no problem. The car is more than most people can handle.
Before you mod - get some driver training and enjoy the immense power already under your a--. That is where the fun is. Using and controlling the power you have. More power to sit on cruize control at 65 or 70? Put it in the bank for your next ride.
My input is polite and yes its your ride and your money. Fire at will

I agree, which is why when i created a mod plan for my babygirl Vanity (my 370z) i looked at where i felt the exec's at Nissan held the engineers back because of a budget only (Chief engineer of the 370Z is Shinjiro Yukawa), and i took care of the most important things first, the best clearbra (did all these things the first week after waiting 5 1/2 months for my girl to be delivered after pre ordering), then the best tint (same shop was used took a whole day), GT-R button, Tanabe exhaust, K&N air filters (always have used one in previous vehicles), and silicone hose set from Z1, couldn't be happier. To each his own on how far you want to mod, your the one that has to be happy with your Z.
