I have a friend who's a mechanic for Porsche who's going to be installing it for me. Fingers marks burning into the exhaust?

I installed this and it KICKS A$$!!!!!

It sounds awsome, the low end TQ loss is negligable and you more than make up for it past 2K RPM... I am getting lightweight pullies to get that low end back though...

What the HE!! is next?.... Hmmmm Stillen?

Any residue which remains on the polished SS portions of the exhaust can burn in and leave dark marks during the initial burn in period.

Have a great install. It took me less than 2 hours for the Stillen sway bars and the HKS install. You are going to love this exhaust!

Has anyone heard the HKS and the Stillen both? I haven't heard either one in person and I don't think those sound clips are very reliable. But I have heard those two are the best for sound. Just wondering what you guys thought.

I have the HKS and my buddy has the stillen and they both sound great. But Stillen is like 12lbs heavier than the stock exhaust and the HKS is 15lbs lighter. So I guess you have to make a choice from there.
