Nissan 370Z Forum  

Stillen exhaust has been installed, and the verdict is...

Man, I'm feeling lonely! I never see any other 370z's when I'm driving around on Long Island. Hopefully if I see any loud convertibles I'll know who it is!

Everything I wrote in my review was from the perspective of having the top down. With the top up, it fills the cabin with a nice deep sound when accelerating heavily. At crusing speed, it's essentially silent.

I've got the stillen too with the berk HFC's and love the sound, I'm just curious, how did you get the tips to line up without heating and bending the pipes back? or is that what you guys did? cos mine stick out a bit and from memory there wasn't much movement...

No heating and bending necessary. There are some slip joints on the exhaust that allow for a fair amount of adjustability. I didn't install it myself, so I can't exactly say what one needs to do in order to get them flush...all I can say is that if the installer knows what they are doing it should be no problem.

Sweet! that is my one complaint about my Stillen CBE. I am not crazy about the tips and I have considered changing them out. I like the ones that have the Bluish effect but I cant remember the manufacture.

Try to get them adjusted by someone that knows what they're doing. If you want to go with burnt tips, check out Greddy and Invidia.

That's amazingly flushed fit! I like it a lot. It's a great exhaust (sound wise) and one of the oldest exhaust on the market for the Z. Job well done sir. Any sound clips?

Thanks! I'll be taking several vids before the week is over.

I have to say...after putting 500 miles on this exhaust it's sounding even better. The note has really smoothed out and it just works so perfectly with the Stillen intake. The sound is so addicting, I don't even want to think about what my MPG has been, I've been riding it so hard. I only hope the vids I take do it justice!

Thanks to RCZ, Spearfish and Red370 for providing some of the reviews that helped me pull the trigger!

I can vouch for Joe (craniac) and his driving skills. I estimate he gets about 12 MPG. We went for a very brisk run on I-95 so I could hear the Gen3's before I installed them.

(Joe, don't tell them about my pass of the bus near Exit 9 when I was giving you the run-through of my CBE. Thanks, buddy.)

In for video updates!
