Should I upgrade the exhaust on the G37?

[CJ]

Yeah, that looks cheesy. I don't like aftermarket exhausts on anything

[CALL_911]

It looks funny, solely because the exhaust doesn't match with the stock wheels. It makes the wheels look very small and frumpy, IMO.

If it had bigger wheels, it'd look great.

[rohan]

If it could have been done better, the manufacturer would have already done it. 

Fail.

[SVT666]

Fail.

Fail.

[rohan]

Fail.

So---then Mustangs are absolutely the best they can be from the factory?

He was saying the same thing to Cougs that Cougs says to everybody else when they talk abut modifying.  It was 100% sarcasm.

[Catman]

Looks OK to me.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Timecube makes more sense than this thread.

[SVT666]

Yeah, I think it looks fine.

[CALL_911]

I'm very interesting in hearing how it sounds. Video, Cougs?

In my strongest of opinions it is extremely rare that aftermarket wheels enhance the look of a vehicle. I perused a number of G forums in the hopes of joining but they were all so filled up with cars ruined by wheels (and lowering) I couldn't bring myself to join. However, many forums seem to quite a knowledgeable group that have provided some help (as in a TSB for A/T programming that I'm in need of) though they're prone to the prototypical afflictions that affect the automotive enthusiast community at large (particularly oil and the reliance on chassis dynos).

I haven't found a single aftermarket wheel I like for the G.  I want my winter tires on different wheels, but I don't want steelies.

These would look great.

Those are the wheels that came on my car.

I think they look okay. The issue is finding these wheels is hard for the AWD as the wheel sizes (18 x 7.5) were the same front and rear whereas on the RWD they're staggered (18 x 17.5 F and 18 x 18.5 R). Far far more of these upgraded wheels came on RWD cars making them much harder to find in the aftermarket (the ones you posted are a staggered set from a RWD car). I don't think I've ever found a full AWD set for sale.



I prefer these though:

[Lebowski]

Bottom ones look better.  And yeah, aftermarket wheels look terrible 99.999% of the time.

And clearly your sarcasm detector is broken. 

[SVT666]

But Cougs, 18" wheels are why you passed on the Sport model.

[GoCougs]

Noticed it was louder again today...

[GoCougs]

I've taken a couple of videos but they suck. The car just doesn't want to rev at a standstill - sluggish and limited to ~5,000 rpm.

Aren't you kind of trying to stay anonymous (so you can troll harder)?

Still smarting over the realization that Norway's nationalization of North Sea oil was immoral theft from You the People I see.

Nah, the Usual Contingent ruined it on the very first page.

Classic Cougs at work there.
