Ask yourself this question: "Do I want my car to sound louder or stop better?" and you will have your answer.
IMO, if you're not going to track your car, a BBK is a waste of $$$$$.
Agree. Stock rotors/calipers (non BBK) with aftermarket pads do fine for any street driving. With Hawk pads, you can stop quicker than most cars on the road -- and they might rear end you (lol).

I vote for exhaust. Don't do headers if you are going FI in the future.

my jwt popcharger + motordyne 5/16ths iso-thermal plenum spacer ended up being roughly $440 including tax... you'll have plenty left over to spend on other things.
however if you're going turbo in less than a year it'd be stupid to put these in.

I dont think i would do the iso thermal cause i really dont know when and why i would be turning valves in diffrent temps, etc. But until next year i would want some meaner sound and power i can always sell these parts to my fellow My350Zers in the future

Get some wheels and drop, that should always be the 1st mods. BBK would be a waste atm and if your going FI no point in getting the other mods.

Here's some Volks within your range. Therefore, my vote is rims and drop. I just wouldn't be so stuck on Volk. Nice wheels, but there are others that are equally nice and good looking IMO.

if your going fi in the future, don't buy the pop charger, Buy the spacer, buy a Utec, and start saving for the FI. The exhaust kinda depends on what FI route you want to go.

Im not only stuck on volk but i do want a quality rim that is not as expensive and has a nice lip on rear in black with polished lip and 10.5 wide in the rear. If you can point me to a reputable deal with a rim that looks like that let me know

This is semi off topic, but if you are paying for mods out of a piggy bank (almost literally), FI may not be a good idea for you

LOL no i just always had a habit of emptying out my pocket change into a bucket that had nothing to do with a bank account. I was able to pay for more than half of my maxima with that money without touching the money in my bank account

yeh buy the x02 hks knock off its stupid to spend 1500 on a exhaust u can buy 3 x02 knock offs for the price of one hks. And i herd sound clips and the x02 sounds alot less raspy and high pitched and sounds deep and throaty very nice sounding.

I would say
Plenum spacer, X02 exhaust(hks knock off), High flow cats, jwt popcharger(but your better off keeping the stock intake), Light weight pulley , technosquare reflash. Thats wut i would do but defitnly dont spend 1500 for the hks seriously lol,


200+ 600+ 400+ 120+130 +500=1950
150$ left use that get ur self a nice detail
U will be happy with the improvment
