Show me your G with Stillen or Borla catback in Dallas?

I'm looking to add a Stillen or Borla catback to an 05 Sedan G35. I want to see how it sounds in person before spending $1k. I live in Frisco and work in Irving, in the Dallas area. Anyone want to let me check their ride out? I can meet anywhere near Dallas. Many thanks, email andrewtspeer@yahoo.com.

Also looking to buy either of these exhausts for a good price....and of course rims but that may have to wait.

Andrew

The clip I recorded sounds ok, but IMO I think its better in person. Its just the right volume, not droney, easy to live with - yet loud enough when you want it to be.

edit: forgot to mention... the clip was done in neutral... and a cold engine, etc... it sounds better under actual load when the engine is making torque. Neutral is probably the worst way to listen to an exhaust... you need to actually hear it on the road while driving.

It does the VQ justice. I recently took off the rear section to clean it up. Had some road gunk and a little oxidation on it. I just used some fine steel wool and some metal polish.. cleaned right up, shiney like new. Its well made and doesnt seem to be showing any serious wear after over a year of use including fairly harsh winter in Iowa (lots of salt and its a lowered car).

Its pricey, but I am happy with the purchase. I didn't have a lot of choice either since I have an X, but I think I would have chosen this system anyway.

Konsole, does it fit the X easily?

Fits perfectly. No wierd modifications needed.. uses stock hangers. Very straight forward install. I did it myself.

(these pics are before my drop and SPC camber kits, just in case you notice no suspension upgrades )
