Wut to do with Stock parts?!?

[G35bear]

Just got Injen SES exhaust installed and Kinetix SSV Intake manifold. What should i do with the stock parts? Suggestions??? Scrap it for the metal and make alil cash? Put it on ebay, maybe someone will convert their Neon, lol or save them for a rainy day.

If you are ever planning on selling the car I'd keep them. Depending where you are when you sell it, or where the new owner might be taking the car, the parts may be required.

I'd sell them.

Someone with a sedan will want to buy the midpipe from you i bet

you should do this!

As for the intake, maybe someone with 05+ will buy the plenum off you since its muhc more close to the MREV2 it would be a fraction of the cost.

just my .02

I sold each part of my OEM exhaust....The mid pipe is in high demand. They Y and rear section will be a little harder to sell, but they will sell. Now the Plenum is the MREV2 design without the port and polish. You might be able to sell it to motordyne engineering...I know they do core exchanges.

[tollboothwilley]

just sell the plenum to someone on here They can have it polished/ported or use as is....

So, the mid-pipe would make more growl and go?? What is the big diff. in the sedan and coupe?? Got pics of before (sedan) & after (coupe)??

[Sentientbydesign]

How much for the plenum?

[joe603]

The coupe midpipe on a sedan is one of the most cost effective mods you can do. I've seen/heard many people that have done the mod, and they all love it!

The sedan midpipe is heavy, huge and square. The coupe midpipe is a simple pipe and simple resonator. It sounds much meaner, drops excess weight, and I believe gives you better exhaust flow.

Add the HKS to the back, and it makes a beautiful balance between intake and exhaust.

How much is the Coupe mid pipe worth??

I have been eyeing the $480 Shipped Exhausts on ebay for a while..

Might be worth the difference..

[tollboothwilley]

how much is it worth... Well i bought mine for $40. I've seen people that pay $100 for it.

[TISon28s]

hey I'm interested in the midpipe. How much are you asking for it? And is it off of a coupe? Thanks

[thevizkid]

ok.. so just replacing the sedan midpipe with the coupe midpipe will give me a much meaner sound, or do i need an aftermarket exhaust system like the HKS to give me that sweet sound? FYI - I am not looking for anything deeper than what I used to get from my coupe.Also, Im on a tight budget, so the lesser the parts i need to buy the better. Please advise.

By the way, what purpose does an Exhaust "tip" serve?

#1. exhaust tip is for looks

#2. the coupe midpipe is much lighter, will give a meaner sound.

#3. replacing midpipe with coupe midpipe AND rear exhaust like HKS is the best.

Def. replace the midpipe, IMO

the rest can be done later

I would say to keep them. You never know when you will want to trade it in for another Infiniti. Also if the aftermarket part breaks or doesn't work out, you can always go back to stock if nothing better is avaialble. For example, my brother installed Hot Shot headers on his Saturn then, 7 years later, his header cracked. He can't afford another header (nor is it worth it to buy another header for that piece of junk) so I offered to swap his original back on when he told me that he got rid of it . We searched for a used one with no luck and a new one costs $700...damn.

[tollboothwilley]

no, just sell them....

parts are readily available for those who are in the know

get rid of them, put a few bucks back in your pocket and let me tell you what to spend that extra cash on

[adren77]

I am looking to buy a coupe midpipe, if you want to sell it, e-mail me with your price [email protected]

[G35bear]

THX 4 the ideas. These bad boyz (complete stock exhaust 03 coupe & Plenum) are up for grabs for anybody that wants them. I will send an e-mail with more info if your intrested.

[SVTCOBRA]

would like the mid-pipe too...have sent out 4 emails to several sellers with no repsonse yet...

maybe you guys should check your junk mail....

SVT

[SVTCOBRA]
