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!

no problem man, yeah I definitely noticed the change in tone once the exhaust burned in, it really mellows out a bit, even with HFC's, but she still screams like a virgin on prom night when ya get on it, glad you're happy with your decision.

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.

Ronkonkoma!!!!!!!! REPRESENT LOL... I live right over in Patchogue.... Any way the car looks sick with those bigger tips out the back. I had a stillen CBE on my 06 Spec V and my 08 Altima and I loved them both. But once I get my dam Z (y is it taking so long) I want to do an exhaust fast. I was set on the FI cause I love the look and sound, but now that I read your post and see your pics of the exhaust sitting flush I might really have to think about it. Once I get my Z I would love to meet up with some of the other LI Z guys and here your exhaust. Might help me make my decision.
