Simple, not too expensive mods
 

So I'm looking at doing a few things to the car. Had an 07 350 base which was a lot of fun before grabbing the '12 370z touring with the sports package. Love this car but it definitely needs to be a little faster. Thinking about going with stillens long tube intake and their exhaust. Also open to other little things that might help give the car a little more pep

STILLEN : STILLEN Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit

STILLEN : STILLEN 370Z Dual Exhaust System

Any ideas?

Anyone have stillen parts?

Thanks, -Steve

Add HFCs to your list. Best bang for the buck IMO.

The gen 3s are awesome, can't go wrong with those. HFCs like mentioned are also a great addition. Catback exhausts are a little more subjective in preference and the prices vary. There's a bunch of threads around re exhaust tones, check some out and see what you like.

And welcome!

Does anybody know what the db rating is on the stillen cbe?

I have heard them before.. Not too loud. A little too quiet for my tastes. But if i had to guess.. 90DB? Haha..

I think my short tails are at like 120DB at WOT. & Thats without TP's!

120 is plenty loud and if your ears are about 2-5 feet from the pipes. That's the spl where you begin noise induced hearing loss.

Stillen CBE is not that loud with just the exhaust itself, its more like the car should've came with Stillen CBE sound wise but add the intake and it can be a little louder especially at WOT.

Thanks im thinking of going this set up to. Do to I don’t want to wait the weeks out for the FI. They are strict here in California when it comes to noise level on cars especially imports.

TP's and muffler deletes do not sound good at all IMO!

Better off to do one or the other TP's and CBE sound good or the muffler delete by it self sounds good but not both TP's and muffler deletes sounds terrible IMO!

Thanks for all the input. I'll be adding slowly, but will be sure to post some pics and videos whenever I do.

Thanks, -Steve

Stillen is very focused on making sure all of its products meet the various CARB and noise compliance regulations. Their exhaust will be one of the most well mannered exhausts on the market while staying legal with inspections....if you live in California.

WAYYYY TOO LOUD. Thats why i'd consider HFC's but never TP's with these short tails...
