Stillen CBE = Big Disappointment...

First off I have to say that I was very happy dealing with Stillen direct, very fast shipping, very quick and easy transaction, and whoever I talked to on the phone was very helpful and easy to deal with. The exhaust also looks great on the car!

The Disappointment...

I was not happy with the loudness from the second I started it up. It's not that much louder than stock (which is the reason I purchased an aftermarket exhaust in the first place).

I have a Tanable Medallion (muffler only) on my Infiniti G37, and it is known as one of the quieter exhaust systems...and that is a bit louder than the full Stillen exhaust on my 370. I don't like really loud systems, so I wasn't expecting anything like that...was just hoping for something comparable to the Tanabe on the G (unfortunately not the case).

Other than that I was very happy with Stillen, one of the best companies to deal with...their exhaust just isn't for me.
