I'm torn between whether to go carbon fiber or not. How do you guys think it will hold up to scratches with cf?

The performance nor sound wasnt a big factor for the change... it was actually the way it looked to me. It was just so damn ugly.

Well onto the point, the stillen combo has NO drone on freeway drives, but with the FI combo, i would have to drive it up to like 80+ to get the rpm high enough (around 3.5ish) to get out of the drone zone.

So yeah if you want something with no drone stillen is the way to go.
since you had both, i am putting stock on your PM. it looks like I gotta go with stillen with ugly looks and all. do you think you will still have drone without your HFC's thks

just did a 1500 mile road trip from El Paso, TX to Ohio, barely noticed my exhaust whatsoever. Power gains are real, nice low grumble at idle, screams like a banshee at WOT, and looks great. Both systems are great, but I love mine and wouldnt want any other setup on my ride.

btw, nothing ugly about the stillen exhaust at all, i've heard nothing but great things from people that have driven behind me or seen the exhaust on the car in person, the stainless steel mufflers underneath look great behind the car.

The Stillen tips are fugly as hell... they stick out way too far.

Other than that it does sound nice and is probably the best choice for the person who wants better sound than stock but not necessarily louder.

Not necessarily true, mine do, but thats because I like the way it looks. The mufflers can be adjusted on the hangers and can be pulled in significantly for a more OEM look.

did you have any fittmen issues or any cutting on your stillen install.

none. Had to reposition one of the hangers because my right tip wasnt centered correctly but that was an installation problem, not a problem with the manufacturing. Buy it, you wont be sorry.

I love Stillen, in fact my G3s should be here tomorrow :eekdance: but there is absolutely, positively no drone with my Berk CBE. None, Zero, Nada.

Oh yes, the HFC definitely makes things louder. It was nice to keep the stock cats handy. The rasp went away, and it is much quieter. I'd personally get the 18" and keep the stock cats if I were to do it all over again. :tup:
