Comparison Vid: Stock, Stillen, and Berk :)

I'm really happy with my Stillen CBE and ERZ HFC combo. The Stillen CBE alone sounds good but left me wanting more. Under WOT around 4k rpm, I have a rattle in the back now. It never happened initially...either the exhaust got louder or something is just loose. I may take the panels off to investigate one of these weekends.

I never feel the CBE/HFC combo I have is too loud though. It will turn a head if you stomp the gas, but you can drive past cops without problems as long as you're not at WOT. It also keeps some 'fun' exhaust noise below 3k RPM which I felt you lose when you have the CBE alone.

Sound and performance are everything to me when it comes to driving , it makes the car come alive IMO!

I'm getting a real kick out of my Stillen G3 intakes but mostly at higher RPM's.

That being said:
Most of my driving is at the lower and mid RPM range, with some spirited driving mixed in.

I can't wait to get the Stillen CBE on , open her up and hear how it sounds on these winding Pocono mountain roads in northeast PA.

Thanks,
Alex
