Stillen Gen 1 or Gen 2 for 06 Sedan
#4
he has a sedan... for sedan Stillen is a good choice (IMO the right choice)... gen 2 has a tamer sound that most would prefer. I have gen1 and am used it so I'll refrain from voting... I'd say whatever you can get a better deal on is the one you should go with. If you don’t want an aggressive (some call loud) tone, get gen 2.

I have the gen1 and it did drone before I switched out the resonators. Now much better and quieter. Don't even think about high flow cats or testpipes with it unless you want to go deaf. Also, rethink the Crawford cats or any highflow cats for that matter. You are likely to get some rasp, the power gains are usually not that great, they dont last very long (unless you get metallic), and they're expensive. Spend the money on a set of DC or Strup headers instead.

If you adjust the a/f - HFC will add power and definitely worth the cost (which isn’t all that much actually).

Everybody has different experience with HFC. But as I suggested, for the money spent, more gain is to expected from header install vs. cat since the stock manifolds are where the majority of the restriction is anyway.
I just read alot of problems with the aftermarket cats either falling apart or just not really doing much for power. That's why I just went testpipes and was done for half the price of cats.

Test pipes vs HFC, is another story... test pipes will yield more gains but are also much louder... theres a trade off. For me HFC were the choice and it has worked out well... test pipes are a good choice as well... headers however do not have the cost benefit to make it worth while to most. And the gains have been proven to be minimal.
