Haven't heard of REV9 before. Do know what this sounds like by any chance?

I have no idea to be honest but looks like a HKS replica so should sound similar. I wanted an axle back myself for my nismo as I didn't want to mess with the nismo tuned pipes, I went with AAM short tails with titanium tips from Z1performance. Sounds pretty incredible but if you don't want the pipe sound AAM also has an axle back thats available on the Z1performance site. Check them out, enough YouTube videos with sound clips of both as well.

My pleasure, you are quite welcome. You can always have a local exhaust shop manufacture the rest of the components for you. I believe it will be more affordable than ordering the components directly from Stillen. Other choice, and your best bet, is to get your order into to Fast Intentions. Their CBE is truly amazing.

I've heard that AAM short tails might be too loud for what i am looking for, as i am looking for the quiet system. I've seen their axleback option, but it almost sounds like stock, (even volume wise) and costs $930 CAD. Invidia Gemini CBE is about $1300 CAD, so i may go this route if i can't find anything.
I certainly can't think of dropping $2500 on FI exhaust or stillen cbe.

Makes sense well if the rev9 idea doesn't suit you the HKS cbe should be in the 1300 range as well .... I had that on my 350zHR sounded very good without being overly loud. I think J-Spec had an ad up for that on kijiji as well.

Stillen is by far the tamest of the exhaust. I run it... if I had to do it again I'd consider FI

If the cost were no issue, i would choose Stillen in a heartbeat. Any particular reason why you would prefer FI over STillen? maybe too quite for you?

Quality work does not come cheap. However, it is cheaper than ordering a complete high quality exhaust. There was a shop on Islington, just north of Queensway in Etobicoke called 'Hot Rod Scotts'. They did some great work and their prices were not too bad. Try them out if they are still around. The other place you could check is 'Zoro Muffler' on Dundas, just west of Dixie, in Mississauga. They have also been known to do good work. I had some work done at both shops, on different vehicles and I was happy with them. But check and double check the reviews etc. on google.

Thank you for the direction. Will contact both places and see what they have to say about this. Thanks again!

You are very welcome. I hope everything works out for you and you find a good CBE. Keep us in the loop.

Little more noise lol to be honest I really like the stillen sound at 4.5k rpm

Nixin 06-28-2017 08:09 AM

My F.I. 18" res. SS CBE has quieted down substantially. However, when you mash on the gas, it comes to life and wakes up everyone. It truly is a very high quality CBE. I love the burbles and pops when down shifting. Plus it looks awesome.

Definitely another reason. I get a pop once In awhile with the stillen

Lol I do get tempted to sell and pick up the 12" resonated

If I only knew about the difference between the 12" and 18" res. when I ordered my CBE, I think I would have purchased the 12" instead.

Jspec performance Angadoneal had mentioned is selling invidia Gemini for $1445 out the door including installation. What do you guys think of this deal?

people say this CBE is pretty quiet, so i am hoping this could be an alternative to the Stillen CBE I want which is about $1000 more expensive

Angadoneal 06-28-2017 02:00 PM

Sounds very similar to the AAM short tails I have maybe a bit better actually. But it will be a loud exhaust(check YouTube) thought you didn't want to go that route. But price wise I think good deal.

Anyways.. i have an appt on Friday. So i will report back soon.

Thank you guys for all the support!

Nixin 06-28-2017 06:26 PM

I have read good reviews about the Invidia Gemini CBE. There are many forum members here that have them installed. I am certain you will be happy with your decision, much better than the stock CBE. Let us know how Jspec is and what kind of an installation they do. Make sure you tell 'em to take their time, you don't want dings, dents, scratches on your Z! Good luck.

I had my exhuast installed yesterday as planned.

Love it. Not too loud not too quiet, just perfect for my taste

1. No drone on highway btw 100-120km ( havent had a chance to test other speed range yet )
2. Quiet while cruising, and roars at wot, and those bubble noise is just intoxicating; I am trying to find under what circumstances this exhaust makes this noise.
3. Dont feel any power gains. If there is, i dont notice it or hard to tell.
4. Sexy titanium tip is just a bonus. The tip stick out a bit, but i think invifia did this on purpose to show off the tip lol.
Overall happy with my choice.

Looks good jamtinge. Enjoy!
