Stillen

Has anybody put the new quieter Stillen catback exhaust on their sedan? Just curious to see how much quieter it is and if you get the same hp gains

How do you like your Stillen Exhaust and the Hotchkiss swaybars?

I like them both. The first gen Stillen has the rep of droning but I find it pretty minimal. If you have decent RPMs you can avoid the "resonance zone". It has a great, muscular sound at high RPM.

The sways are a great bang for the buck. They really improve the handiling.

Got the exhaust installed today,it took my local car shop an hour to put it on,very easy install with no fit problems. Sounds fantastic,nice "v-6" sound...not ricey at all. Sounds really good at WOT! I notice a little more low end grunt on the butt dyno but could be my imagination. At idle it sounds stock.....highly recommended!

Nice job. Let us know what you think long term. Definitely killer sound at WOT or anywhere above 4K rpm for that matter.

I'm seriously considering the V2 Stillen for my 04 5AT Sedan. I don't mind if its 'noisy' on WOT . What I would really don't want though is any kind of drone when cruising at say 60 - 90 mph. How are you guys finding it in that situation ? Thanks.
