Hello Enthusiasts! I'm looking to add a little "something, something" to my 06 350Z while I save up for a twin turbo. I've noticed around that the best way to go is to upgrade the Headers, install a CAI, and replace the Exhaust. Could anyone please point me into the right direction...For the Headers I've come across Nismo, Borla, and DC. There different brands for a CAI and Exhaust as well. Can anyone shine light on which brand in particular would be the best option for all upgrades? Which ones will give more hp and durability? Thanks Everyone!

Don't buy headers if you plan to turbo your car, they are expensive and will have to be taken off when you turbo it. CAI, I would go with Nismo.... Exhaust I would go with either Nismo or HKS. I sell all Nismo parts so send me a PM if you are interested.

Don't do the nismo CAI, go with the JWT popcharger, for further improvements get wither the AAM angled plenum spacer if not go with the motordyne 5/16" spacer to keep ur stock strut bar. As for exhaust, nismo wont give u as much of a power gain so it's better to go with HKS, if u want to save some money go with the XO2, its a true dual catback exhaust. Want to get more power? get the UTEC and get it tuned after ur intake/exhaust mods. Want even more power get the MREV+ from motordyne. At this point u should be well over 270whp. I mentioned the true dual exhaust for ur future turbo setup, it will help u alot with back pressure.

just do upgrades that you would use when you install a turbo kit, dont bother with a cai just do the exhaust and then do your turbo kit.
