Nismo or Stillen exhaust

Hey guys, about 2-3 weeks ago i bought my 06 g35 coupe, i love the exhaust but i just want it to be LOUDER. Of course cops will ticket me but I was wondering, having the Nismo exhaust i can just say it comes from factory that way to avoid a ticket. But i've heard that stillen sounds a bit better than the nismo.

anyway the question is

Nismo or Stillen

Nismo needs to be cut and welded to add an extension to fit correctly on the G and it is not a true dual catback.

Go Stillen.

Man do some research, look up soundclips on youtube or even on the forums. . .(my350z.com as well)

then make your own decision after that. . .

of those two, stillen.

you're unlikely to get a ticket with the nismo exhaust, anyway. **** is quiet as hell.

I have the Nismo and I like its, but I also have no cats so for me it is loud.

If you get the nismo remember you need to get a 6'' extension, and then the tips need to also be pushed out 2''.

Exhaust Opinions....!

Stillen is a quality made system (dual system) made not to exceed the noise
standards and still sounds great. Nismo, if you've checked our Marketplace
there's a bunch of them for sale....I wonder why? Stillen would be your best
bet of the two!

Stillen... but if you like the stock sound and just want it louder you can just add some Fast Intentions or Crawfords high flow cats

Not to hijack your thread, but I had a question on the stillen exhaust. I was set to buy it, then saw it uses 3" pipes. I've seen elsewhere on this forum that if you plan on staying NA your exhaust should have 2 1/4- 2 3/4" pipes. Anyone have an opinion on this?

If you arent FI then do NOT go 3" piping, you will lose too much back pressure which will decrease your low end power by ALOT. Just get 2.5" piping and you're good

Thanks...I didn't see the option on stillen.com so I didn't know it existed.
