Infact, change your midpipe, or change your intake and your car is illegal.
California is the smog *****.

i don't think my stock 98 sc300 can keep up with my stock 05 G35c .
i love both cars and drive both often but for different reasons.

Hell I don't have half those mods and my car handles incredibly well... add a Torsen differential and Supra brakes on all four corners and you'll have a very capable track car...
Eibach Pro-kit $259
Greddy $800
or
Borla $586.99
KYB GR-2 $272.12 (4 of them)
Shift kit? $200? (optional)
So the least I could get away with in parts, (springs, shocks, exhaust)
would be $1118.11, and if you double that to figure the shipping and installation costs, it would come out to $2236.22.
Thanks for any feedback,
