Stillen CBE Clearance Problems Fixed?
What's the latest new on fitment and clearance issues with the Stillen catback? I know a few months ago there were issues with the exhaust hitting the crossmember and people were using metal hose clamps to hold up the exhaust. Then Stillen said this issue was fixed, but someone posted in late July claiming they still had a problem.
Has anyone installed the Stillen CBE lately to verify if the install was free of clearance problems? |

I just put one on 2 weeks ago with berk cats and it hits the cross member. It rattles in the rear.
The stillen headers are next and we are going to have to cut the cat and realign them for a perfect fit as the headers do not fit well at all. Hopefully every thng will work out then. |

Two rounds of jacking the car up myself and two more rounds at a muffler shop cutting the rear Y-pipe in half and rewelding it back for better clearance, still hearing a funny noise and getting a vibration I can't figure out. Some of it is the tires and the road, some of it is?? Really don't know exactly what to do or if something else is creating a diversion. Anybody with other exhaust systems having any probems? |

Check out minicobra1's clips with the exact same setup. His clips convinced me to add the berks to my Nismo CBE. I'm not sure if he's running CAIs too but I am and love my setup:
YouTube - 370Z With Nismo Catback and Berk HFC's YouTube - 370Z Nismo Catback- Berk HFC's Launch & Mild drive by Nismo exhaust is a perfect fit and the berks bolt on perfectly with zero fitment issues...*
