I was looking on eBay and seen headers for G35 for around 120$ .. are these good headers or no? Also I seen intakes for cheaper, do these work good n fit right? 1 more question.... The performance chips for like 25$ ... Do they work?... Any suggestions on what's good for a g35... Lmk. Or if these eBay items are fine, Lmk. Thanks

Headers for 120 will be junk on a G. Headers don't really help the VQ35 in a N/A configuration and are a biach to put on. I'd look elsewhere.

For a G35 look into a Motordyne plenum spacer. Intake would not hurt. High flow cats, catback exhaust. Maybe a tune.

Consider the following a list of mods I would do if I was planning to stay NA but wanted the best bang for buck in performance

I have done all these mods( I have a 5AT though - clutch/flywheel was on friends car) and many variations. That it why I recommend it as such.

Plenum spacer ($100used - $300 new)
High flow cats (or ART pipes) $200 used - $600 new
cat-back exhaust ($300 used - $1700new)
Machined lower plenum ($50DIY -$200have it machine by someone like me -$400MREV2)
intake (R2C, or STILLEN, JWT = hot air ingestion) ($150-300)
lightweight flywheel
lightweight pulleys ($200-300)
Final drive gears
headers (some headers have shown to lose power - get a good design which is never cheap)



this doesn't include any suspension or handling mods like sway bars, lower tie braces, strut bar braces, shocks, springs, coilovers, etc
