To be honest, I didn't feel much of a difference with the Apexi exhaust over the stock exhaust in terms of power. I might get a custom 2.5" bpipe setup later on to make the flow much better.

Bobby here is the part number for that wrap. Mardigrasmax saw it he said good idea since it has velcro it will be easy to remove. I got it from Summitracing

As you said above, you want more power under 5k. Tuning your air to fuel ratio is the best way to do this. The Vortech FMU is usually very rich in the low and mid rpms under boost. Leaning this out will increase torque as much as 10ftlb, it did for me.
But your best bet is to just change the pulley for more boost!

A car as heavy as the GS400 running 11's?!?!?!
Is it the Rear wheel drive that gives 'em the edge over us Maxima's?

Their edge is that they START with a 300hp V8 and just with the addition of the blower they are at nearly 400hp....

You could also think about getting a Cartech Adjustable FMU, and never having to deal with a non-adjustable FMU again.
3 pulls on the Dyno with my Cartech, and I'm tuned at 12.5:1 in the low end, and 12.1:1 in the high end. I couldn't get it perfectly the same thoughout the band because the MEVI chnges the variables after 5k RPM.
So I decided to go just a little bit rich on the low end.
But here's the good news:
I gained 13hp after tuning the FMU.

Basically, the same function as the S-AFC, but mechanical, not electronic.

They're selling APEXi S-AFC's for $305 shipped on groupbuycenter.com
