hey, great post. I've tried a flowmaster, generic stainless steel turbo muffler then went to stock because I wasn't happy with the exhaust system.
I'll try your muffler and see how that goes.
For intakes:
I just bought this:

You can also buy a cold air box:

The guy is really nice, you can AIM him at RSWERKS.
I just bought this:

and returned it. It doesn't have a connection for one of my vacuum hoses, and I didn't want to jam it in the filter like they wanted me to. But if you have a drill, it should be easy to make one. It is a nice tube though.
The K&N should have the best gains, but I'd rather have a nice looking intake and give up .5 hp if at all.
This I think is the best intake by far. It has an option for dry filter (APEXI) or K&N:

Hope this helps people on their VQ35DE ventures.
Anyone make a custom dual exhast around the spare tire? I want to purchase mandrel tubes online and then have someone weld them together.
I'm just too lazy to get my car to a lift and carefully measure=).
