I went Stillen exhaust and really enjoy it but I had driven an abnoxiously loud car as a dd for years before and was tired of it. My z is my dd and I would not say the Stillen is like stock, sure at cruise it is quite but that's a good thing to me now after having a constantly loud car. Yours isn't a daily so You may be in a different position than I am but I would say hear as many as you can, also FYI the stillens got louder after some miles and a track day.

How noticeable is/was your increase in actual performance with the Stillen exhaust? I believe I read they claim something like 20 additional HP to the rear wheels.

It was noticeable for sure but I never really pushed it with stock exhaust, I cant risk my license speeding in the street as I need it for work and only had it in the track with the Stillen. But I noticed the exhaust and then the next week I did the intake and noticed that too. Granted it isn't like adding turbos or supercharger. Main thing for me was the Oem had a resonance that echoed through the cab and sounded like it came from under the car, you could almost feel a slight buzz in the pedal at around 2700-2800 and the Stillen eliminated that completely.

Yeah. Even if it beat you, the guy driving it is still a tool.

Its such a blast to drive as you fellow owners already know. I bought the base model and so far I've added the OEM rear spoiler and have tinted the windows. My next 3 upgrades will be the Stillen dual cat back exhaust, Stillen CAI, and replacing the factory head unit with a Kenwood Android compatible touch screen with backup camera, navigation, and combo dvd/cd.

Just wanted to introduce myself here and say I'm glad to be a member of the Z community.

Welcome!!!
