The oil pans are cheap or from the dealer parts. To install it’s a bunch of bolts that’s about it that I can see. You can get them from z1motorsports also. Remember that that this is the same engine that is on the g37, g37s etc Infiniti 3.7l v6. Most parts would fit except the front air intake might be slight differences. Other than then that most items are interchangeable. I have the 2016 Infiniti qx50 awd and I have quite a few suspension mods and engine air intake mods and air filter mods that are from the g37 and they fit our cars.

Do you have a post with the mods you've done? Especially suspension as I wouldn't mind tightening up a bit. Also i had a catback add on for my Sunaru and would love to change the exhaust and sound on my 2017 3.7 if it's possible.

I have done a front strut brace from Cusco USA. (It fits our SUV’s ex35- g37). I also have a Cusco power bar that connects to the lower rear control arms(simple bolt on) . Also I have a soul function rear bar that connects to upper control arm subframe (also fits g37). I have a ultra performance chassis brace ( this brace replaces the factory flimsy bar that is by the mid pipes). It’s a heavy duty bar. It makes the chassis a bit stiffer( a simple metal brace). So as of now iam going to get some sway bars (I don’t know which company yet hotchkis or Cusco USA). With all this I did feel a bit better handling and the rear end was more solid. To me it was worth the money. With these SUV’s anything helps. So far iam happy with it. Iam also going to get the Infiniti sport muffler. I think it sounds pretty good. I think it’s made by Japanese performance company that makes performance mufflers. Its expensive if u bought it under their name (Fujitsubo Jdm brand) looks exactly like the Infiniti sport muffler.

Thank you for the info, yes those braces make a big difference. I realize it's not gonna be a 3 series but I'd like to have greater control in the turns. The muffler you mentioned is something I'll be looking for too Thanks my man!

Alright !

When is the First Annual QX50 Track Day Meet Up ?

I like the added Ground Clearance in the Winter . . .

But for Track Day . . . Perhaps some High Octane Racing Fuel can make up time in the straights for what I'll lose in the twistys and corners running the Stock Suspension . . .

In all seriousness, keep these QX50 applicable Mod Ideas and Suggestions coming . . .

In Time, when every car on the road has 4 doors and is shaped like Crossover . . .

We'll be like running in the Original Muscle CUV . . Blowing their 4 doors off their hybrid electrical battery operated weenie mobiles . . . .

Update to my mods on the 2016 qx50. I bought and installed the Infiniti sport muffler exhaust only.( made by Infiniti sport doesn’t come factory on any g37). It’s a direct fit. It’s sounds pretty good. A bit louder growl and when you step on it, it makes loud growl like the g37 sport coupe but bit louder. It’s exactly how I like it. I didn’t want anything too Loud just like stock but better. Very happy with it. Also bought and installed the hotchkis swaybar kit( same time installed with the muffler). 22443 kit. Direct install. Only thing u need is several washers on both sides for the rear splash shields because of the zerk fittings to clear other then that is perfect fit. I can feel the difference the turn ins are better and the stability is better and braking is better because of not much front dive. So far very happy.

Hi guys,
Great article on handling upgrades. Does anyone have the part number of "the Infiniti sport muffler"? I didn't see it above, and would like to look into an upgraded exhaust.

Thanks!

Yes the part # is B0100-1ng26.( infiniti sport muffler). Bought it at competition infiniti smith town ny. I think it was $570. The cheapest I found it. I live in ny so I drove to pick it up. I don’t know how much shipping could be but it can be over $100.
