Anyone with a G37 Sedan and Stillen Cat-back (preferably 6mt model) willing to give me a short ride to show me what the exhaust sounds like? I picked up a new g37 Sedan 6mt to replace my totaled G and I would like to sample the exhaust before pulling the trigger on it.

 

didnt ernie has the stillen cbe before? maybe he can chime in

 

I am brand new to the G35. I just picked up a 2005 G35 6MT Sedan and I am starting to get plugged in.

If there is someone in the San Jose area with the Stillen exhaust installed, I would love to hear it in person, and see if it really is as quiet as it appears on the videos of seen.

 

I used to have an 2005 6mt sedan with the stillen gen2 exhaust... guess you are about a few weeks too late I can tell you the characteristics of the exhaust.

likes:
almost silent at legal speeds on the highway
nice tone upon acceleration, mostly unobtrusive - excellent for city driving
screams power at WOT, especially in tunnels
great quality, fit, and finish
not so noisy that it is show-offish or annoying (except on hwy)
excellent look, but nicer than factory "screw on" tips"
true dual setup
excellent customer support from stillen
more HP at WOT!

dislikes:
drone becomes more noticeable when burning more fuel (ie, going up hill on the hwy).

noisy at illegal highway speeds or sustained engine RPMs to the point where I at times considered putting the stock system back on for some peace and quite (I do a lot of highway cruising and driving in the mountains).

summary:
great exhaust system, totally worth it if you can put up with the moderate highway noise. I had it for about 4 years and never actually decided to take it off, but like I said, the thought had crossed my mind a few times.
