So I got my Stillen intake and Nismo Exhaust put on today, and I'm really thrilled with the overall result. The intake sounds amazing at WOT and I think the exhaust is close to the perfect sound for my taste. Admittedly, I wouldn't have minded it being a LITTLE bit louder. The Berk is the only other one that I considered because I like the stock look, but I'm pretty sure it would have been just a little too loud for me.
Anyway...I am a little upset that we forgot to get a baseline run, but from what I've found on here, the highest stock run I've seen on a Dynojet was 284hp/241tq. This was the baseline run that FI did when testing it's exhaust. I pulled 4 times and my WORST run was 313hp/258tq. So...conservatively speaking, it looks like I made an additional
29hp and 17tq.
The butt dyno confirms. The tires easily break loose now shifting into 3rd gear, where I wasn't able to do that before.
Oh...and it should be said that my exhaust was straight off the back of a Nismo Z (H-Pipe), which is different from the S-Tune (Y-Pipe). I'm pretty sure I got a few more horses out of it compared to what I would have gotten with the S-Tune version.
I'm pretty happy...what do you guys think?
