Rate Your Exhaust

Denny McLain

Bought under drive pulley, Gen 3 intake, headers and exhaust from Stillen.

The under drive pulley was great. Headers OK quality, but a bitch to put on (would not recommend) ending up having to buy two new 02 sensors and two weeks for my hands to heal. The intake install was good but with a slight symmetry quality issue that you can't see, but the exhaust was a royal PITA.

Guess my biggest issue is the exhaust was not a true bolt on and did need quite a bit of tweaking that include cutting and rewelding to get it to fit properly. Not something your average person could do in their garage as the quality does seem to vary. Craps game, fits OK for some but a bitch for others. The slip joints with U-bolts is not what you would expect from a quality exhaust either.

My strong recommendation is to take the exhaust to a good shop where they are used to making them fit. They do it all the time, have the tools and it's no big whoop for them even though I had to take mine in twice and still will hear a few strange noises at times.

The next issue is instead of taking responsibility for the quality issues and offering solutions, Josh denied there was an issue and tried to blame me for the install as being the problem. This really rubbed me the wrong way and trust me.....this is not my first rodeo at hot rodding cars. Expect a few issues as they are always there, but also expect an honest answer and a little support.

Just got a spam Stillen e-mail this morning telling me I have two more days to get the super duper deal on Stillen exhausts. Sounds to me like they are pretty desperate to sell them as I'm not the only one whom had issues.
