As far as me saying the Stillen is loud and others say it isn't, it all comes down to what you like. I have driven both and the Stillen is too loud for my daily driver, the drone would drive me nuts on the freeway. For others, it is perfect. It's funny, my car now has test pipes and the borla but the turbos made it just as quiet as before. Funny how they do that.

Also the borla is less expensive.
ahhhhhhh its so hard to pick lol Why are people voting HKS so much and not saying why....why is the price so high for that system??? IDK I guess I should go for more power because my sound system that will be installed in a couple days will be adding at least 100 lbs to my ride lol so I will need more power to make up for that.

The Stillen system, even gen 2 is a little loud. With stock cats its not that bad, but with aftermarket cats it is kind of loud. It's the kind of sound that puts a smile on my face..

HKS is by far my fav... love the sound, love the look, love everything about mine. Second place for me would be a tie between fuji and FI.

I don't know why everyone is voting for the HKS. It does sound great but it's only a rear section, not a full exhaust like the others.

Same here, Im looking for a full exhaust system and I am not sure if I want to pay the $1300 they are asking for their exhaust even though $800 is pretty much free

I think I am leaning towards the 2nd gen Stillen exhaust, I really do need the power

From all the research I've done, save your money for a Greddy Twin turbo kit like TTrank because no matter how much you put in for N/A it doesn't put back out. HKS rear muffler only is good for changing the sound and Stillen is good for gains, Fujitsubo and Borla are a bit quieter than stillen but they still provide that quality sound from an aftermarket full exhaust system. It's up to you really, for the money, you should just swap your mid section/ Y pipe for that on an 05 or 06 coupe, i heard it's less restricted than the 03-04.
