In that case I would estimate the Stillen to be a little higher. Maybe 55-60%. Does anyone know the pipe size on the Stillen? I would guess 2 1/2" I believe the Borla is 2 1/4".

^^^+1, Stillen pipes is 2 1/2" all the way.

Has anyone look inside the Borla first muffler/resonnator? Is it a straight through with perforation, or does it has a crossover (H-pipe)? Crossover help equalize the exhaust pressure, improving flow. Kinda like scavanging effect.

Off topic, but on the Z32 w/o crossover, it sound like two 3 cylinder engine. Kinda like first gen Viper w/side pipe, two 5 cylinder. Both sound like @ss. This doesn't apply to the Borla as much because the two banks share the same muffler.

I think that's right, Borla is 2 1/4" & Stillen is 2 1/2". I would assume that the Borla is also straight through since their gains are similar to Stillen's.

The stillen uses an X pipe while the borla uses an H pipe.

Well, I found out that the borla exhaust will not fit on 05/06. So for know my only options are the Stillen or HRK Muffler w/coupe mid pipe.

Borla vs Stillen vs stock

Perhaps you already have an answer. The Stillen true dual exhaust weighs 13 lbs. It will increase horse power 21-23 and torque 21-23 foot pounds. The Stillen exhaust that I have for sale is stainless steel, a true dual with an X pipe to balance pressure.

I think a lot of this information is false. No way the whole stillen catback only weighs 13 lbs. And those rwhp and torque increases are a bit inflated.

Wow 13lbs and 21-23 hp and ftlb gains!

So that's why you are selling yours?

13lbs - BS!
HP gains - also BS!

I love stillen stuff but there is no way that exhaust weighs 13lbs and I have never seen proof of their claimed #'s but have seen ~12hp.

I believe the facts of the matter is that Stillen weighs 13 pounds less than stock and Borla weighs 20 pounds less than stock for the sedan cat back.

I will be honest with you, but STILLEN can not even be compared to Borla!
As far as I know, STILLEN is WAY better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually the Stillen exhaust weights a little more than the factory exhaust. It only gains at the most around 10 hp or so. Not 20+.

I say neither. Wait another month or so for the Fast Intentions sedan system to come out. Its going to be bomb! Be patient. FI is a kick-*** company with great customer support and sweet systems
