The exhaust is awesome, very deep V8ish tone. I can feel a power increase too. When I get a chance I'll take some pics and a video so you guys can hear it.

I would love to hear your thoughts. I'm on the fence about getting the exhaust done at the Infiniti dealer.

Having owned an 05 coupe prior to my new sedan, I was saddened by the stock exhaust tone, or lack thereof with these sedans. The VQ engine makes a decent exhaust sound amazing. This is why I was forced to upgrade. Immediately after they put it on I was impressed with how deep and aggressive sounding it was. Instead of hearing the sounds of the engine while driving in front of me, I now hear the exhaust coming from behind me. That's a lame description I know, but it's what comes to mind when I drive now. Shifts seem smoother and power seems to be increased across the RPM range. I especially notice an increase of power from a stop. The rear tires spin easier now when I'm standing still.

I'll get around to posting pics and a video soon, probably after I wash her tomorrow or sunday. No buyers remorse here

So far I have only found one vid of any exhuast on the new Gs...

Not enough for me to pull the trigger, if there is anyone in ATL or SAV that has one let me know and we can do a photo/video shoot and I'll upload the vid!

Damn... I really didn't want to mod this...

OK you impatient bunch of car tards

As promised, a few pics and a video of the exhaust.

And for the video. Keep in mind, the sound quality was great until i converted it to divx and uploaded it to youtube. The converted video's audio now lacks bass and is somewhat raspy. There seems to be a lot of exhaust buildup with the stillen when reving the engine while idling. I promise it sounds way better while driving the actual car. I get looks from people non-stop now. And like I said before, I definitely notice power gains. Perhaps I'll have a chance in the next day or two to do a drive by, which I've seen tons of people ask for. Anyway.... Here it is:

So what was the cost? Where did you have it done at?

Can you throw the Stillen exhuast an an X?

MSRP on the exhaust is 1085. That's what I paid. I ordered it through the dealership, they paid for shipping and installed it for free. This was the first Stillen exhaust that they had installed for the 07 sedan, so they did it free of charge and turned it into a quasi-training session for the techs. I even got to watch. Took them about 45 minutes.
