Alright after putting much thought into which exhaust to go with, and after finally hearing a Stillen Im in love. I originally wanted to go with something a little more subtle, but the Stillen sounds like a sexy beast. So I ordered it, and am anxiously waiting for it now. I have got one question though, any one who has installed this exhaust, or has had one installed is there any welding required, or is it a direct bolt on? Thanks

 

I am very interested to find your post install review of the Stillen exhaust. Since my HKS Hi-Power exhaust appears to lost at sea or other points unknown . . . I have been deciding on a new set-up, if I opt to do as such. I have been leaning towards the Stillen Dual Path exhaust.

 

Deffinately will let you know. Should be about two weeks before I get it installed though.

BTW, The HKS was my other choice just because it looks so sweet, but the price and the lack of availability of the HKS made me lean towards the Stillen.

 

its bolt right on... i did mine

 

stillen rocks.... i have mine, and never looked back.....

 

yea its a bolt on.........good choice with stillen cant wait to hear what you have to say

 

the stillen does sound nice as hell

 

Damn, don't ya hate waiting for something to arrive?
Soooo, did you order the true-dual or the single and
if you ordered the single did you order the Y-pipe?
There are so many choices out there. Stillen sells
good product but it's probably made by Magnaflow.
Which ever system you ordered it's all bolt on but
may require some welding. Good Luck and enjoy

 

Thanks for the info guys.

Yeah I ordered the true dual exhaust. And waiting is the worst thing ever!

 

Exhaust came in the mail today, 2 day early! Major props to DHL. The workmanship, welds, and quality of this exhaust looks excellent. And I absolutely LOVE the tips (dual wall), they look like they came of a much more expensive sports car, my Uncle was comparing them to the tips on his BMW 645, and was like damn Im jealous. Well I have an appointment to get them installed Saturday morning, cant wait for that. Will post update on sound and performance impressions Saturday...

 

Congrats! Looking forward to reading your review comments. Enjoy!

 

hi i have a stillen exhaust just wanted to see if anyone was inrested thanks

 

Great choice! I have Stillen on my G35 and combined with my other mods (AEM CAI, Crawford plenum and cats), it sounds mean as hell!

 

WOW, those where the words that came out my mouth when the mechanic fired it up for me. I FREAKING LOVE THIS EXHAUST. I really hope it does'nt change because it just sounds so damn nice. Personally I think it sounds like the stock exhaust, just mutliplied by 10, and on steroids! Unfortunately it was raining so i didnt go too crazy, but I did get a chance to get up to 120, and thats when I noticed the biggest difference, the pull from 80mph to 120mph is a lot stronger. Its like as soon as you hit 5000rpm your car gets a kick in the *** with spurs. On the other end though, I can feel a very slight loss on the low end (maybe 2hp). But most deffenitely worth it. Next mod is Crawford headers.

P.S. My cousin had installed his Greddy Evo2 exhaust a few days earlier, that is another sweeeeet setup. It's not as loud as the Stillen but retains a beutiful exhaust note, yet screams when you go WOT.

 

Finally had some dry roads around here today! So I got a chance to turn the VDC off and really see what difference in power this exhaust made. Basically starting from 3000rpm all the way until 6000 accleration is ridiculously better. You feel no "restriction" like you did with the stock exhaust, I cant really explain it, but it just feels like the car flows better. All I can say is that the Butt Dyno says HELL YEAH!!! I love this exhaust.
