Stillens can be loud if you modify your intakes and cats. Otherwise they are pretty civilized with a nice tone under load...Something a lot of people here appreciate (not wanting to sound like ricers and all)....

Yea, I didn't do enough I guess. But I thought the Tanabe was suppose to be the quiet exhaust, so I expected the Stillen to be at least as loud. I read a bunch of threads on here and watch a bunch of videos, but it was hard to tell without actually hearing in person.

But all in all, I am very happy with the exhaust. It looks great on the car and it does add a very nice sound.

Thanks for all the input!

Although I also installed the HFC's and the short intakes by Stillen. They have probably the best sound I have ever heard from a sports/performance car.

Maybe you should do as others have suggested, go with HFC's or Test Pipes as well as an intake.

Good luck!
