Exhaust feedbacks?

Zat_Zuma

No, just probably the only ones with time to talk about it.

Personally I've had the Stillen exhaust on a 2003 and hated the high pitched whine from it. I switched over to Fast Intentions in 2007 with the convertable and loved it . It has a deep sounding rumble with minimal reasonance and if installed on the 370Z with SRM, it burbles on downshifts. Unfortunatly, I think, the F-I exhaust sounds horrible when reving the engine at a standstill and it's where Stillen sound shines. Fast Intention's real sound and character appear when driving and having the engine under load and did I mention it burbles on downshifts? The looks on bystanders faces says it all after a 370Z downshifts nearby with a Fast Intention exhaust installed. I've had thumbs up from Honda owners and even a few Porshe owners who like the sound and look of a F-I exhaust. Never did get that kind of public reaction with a Stillen exhaust.

I have the Fast Intentions Intimidator 2.5" and Berk HFC's installed.

That is my opinion and my opinion only. I have no regrets.

It's possible that the Stillen is a different beast from your 350Z. I've had people text and phone me and ask if I drove past their work/home, etc because of the sweet distinguished note of the Stillen exhaust. People I don't know are always commenting on how they love the sound - pulled up along side in traffic, at the race track, etc. Porsche, Ferrari, Audi R8s, Lotus, Beemers, etc, etc - I even had a guy in a Carerra GT tell me he really liked the sound of my exhaust (man that car is insane!). If there are haters I've never heard from them....

It could very well be a different sounding exhaust on the 370Z but I rather doubt it. The design and specifications look identical to the one I had in 2003. But I will reserve the right to change my mind after 6MT takes me for a ride in his 370Z and we can compare the exhaust sounds of each system.

Love the sound my Stillen exhaust makes but I have a clearance issues and I got the shaft from Stillen. No Customer Service at all... I was told it was Nissan's fault for an incorrect install and I was Sh*t out of luck.

Added the Berk HFC and noticed a nice difference in power but I want to start over with a new exhaust...

How much you want for your Stillen CBE? Was something damaged during install? Wha happened?

Stillen told me you had to use a jack to push up the exhaust while tightening the bolts from back to front. (or front to back I don't remember)

I had my Nissan dealer take it right off and reinstall and its still touching the cross brace. Guess I got a first generation exhaust.

Not damaged just annoying.... I have a buddy at an exhaust shop that says he can fix but......

Very disappointed with Stillen considering all I bought...
-Stillen Exhaust
-Gen 3 intakes
-Lightweight pulley
-Grounding kit
-Oil cooler

Pretty strange, since I got the exact same set-up. AND had the same dealer install mine. Absolutely no issues. Stillen's customer service was second to none. Kyle really looked after me. Sorry to hear of your experience, but I have to say that I would recommend them to anyone. They are top-notch!

And their product quality, fit and finish, sound, and performance results were in-line or better than any of the other after-market exhaust suppliers (FI, etc.).
