Must say, I'm still impressed. I was able to pick up a 2012 with 38K on it, right from the auction fresh off lease. My question, in regards to cai, do the ones for the 370z and G37 work on the M, or is there a difference? I have eyed one, but they do not make for the M. In addition to that question, if they do work on the M, are the brackets and supports in the same place? The next question is in regards to a good aftermarket exhaust system. I see the different types of out, but which one is the one? Thank you for your answers and advice in advance.

they don't make much aftermarket items for our rides, i guess the 2011-2013models are still new or these manufactors just don't want to deal with it I guess. I have been looking and pretty much haven't found anything. Good luck man and keep up posted when you do find some of these things. Some of the other bro's will chim in man also

Thanks for the reply. One example I have noticed is Cold air intakes.

Do the cai's who fit the 370Z or G37 engine fit the M? If so, I have found 3 so far

Stillen
Takeda
Injen

Would they fit? I've seen some say yes, some say no. This is my first purchase I plan on making if it works.

It was a Manheim auction. Saved anywhere between 8K to 10K. Was thinking about selling it, and getting another one.

Gotta bump this

If the G37 and M37 contain the same engine, do CAIs for the G37 work with the M37. I have eyed a couple of intakes, and they make them for the G. Curious about your thoughts.

I think the only "true" fit out right now is the Stillen Gen 2. As with anything else, you could always try to test fit something else to see if it works. I can only recall one person who has installed an intake on the M37 / M56 (from the forums i troll). He had an earlier version of the Stillen intake and it had fitment issues. He stated that he was returning it and they would correct the fitment issues and get him a replacement. That was over a year ago, and I'm not sure if he re-installed the intake or not.

Soo, you'll either have to do some test fitting of the other products, wait till something else is available, or use the current Stillen Gen 2.

I saw the Stillen item, but I wasn't sure about the updated version. I remember reading a member and his problems with it. Since I haven't seen any update, I'm hesitant. I did find a place, local, that has one for the G37

and 370Z

I have sent an email to them, and I have also have placed a phone call into them, but haven't heard anything back yet. I'll see what they say, or hopefully some more makers will come to the market for the car.
