I doubt they're adjustable. I had a Stillen exhaust on my 350 and don't recall it being adjustable.

Yeah, most likely not. I'm sure they're fixed.

I have to get on the ball here... I've starting to get left behind as far as mods go ;)

Is the 18whp gain claim including tuning or is that just bolted up with 0 tuning?

Josh@STILLEN 03-01-2009 11:27 PM

0 tuning.. and yes this is a bolt-on system, utilizing the factory hangers, everything you'd expect. As with most bolt-ons of this nature, tuning will only stand to have additional increases, depending on the combination of the parts installed, and of course the tuning.

We've had extensive R&D time on the Z's and G's, and put that knowledge to the 370Z. 18hp is a significant gain, and was achieved through exhaustive testing, and the knowledge of these cars/engines.

Josh,

Any chance of an angled tip version coming? This may seem insignificant to most, but if I'm going to spend the money for an exhaust, I'd want it to be exactly to my liking.

Josh@STILLEN 03-01-2009 11:55 PM

Being that these tips are welded on, and require preparation to ensure exacting production standards, having a ton of tip options can create additional inventory that can drive cost up.

That being said, we appreciate the feedback on an angled tip (which we have done with all previous Z exhausts), and Kyle and I have had plans to sit down in our next meeting and discuss an angled version, based upon several of your feedback.

If those of you who have interest in this style of tip could let us know, that will help things along.

I personally like this tip, which is unique to this exhaust, but we are absolutely open to ideas.

Thanks for posing the question. And no, it's definitely not 'insignificant'.. it's actually most of what's visible from the exhaust from anything other than a lift.. :)

The rear factory fascia cutout is an oval with the stock exhaust tip being oval and angled. The design is excellent and flows with the vehicle's line. NISMO's tips are round, and not oval, like Stillen's. I would like to be able to have the factory oval/angle tips on the Stillen; can locals do that?

does anyone have this catback installed and can take some pics for us so we can see multiple views of the tips please.

I already asked Josh to post some pics from different angles. Josh, can you do that for us?

Josh is soooooooo witty hahaha. I think that was an accident but just seemed funny to me...

NISSAN only loaned us the car for a few days so I'm not sure how many different angles our photographer was able to get. Josh and I will go through the image library and see if we have a similar shot to the one posted previously.

Also, I don't know the exact weight savings but I want to say that it's something like 10-12 pounds. I'll have to check with our engineers for that exact info.

Both the mufflers and the tips are polished 304 stainless steel.

I got the Stillen exhaust installed last night, along with the Berk HFCs. I'm working on getting some video clips together and will post those separately later, but for now, here are some pics, because I know many of you are eager to see how the Stillen exhaust looks from different angles:

It's a smidge lower. We tinkered with it for quite some time trying to get it perfect, but in the end this was the best we could do and I declared it good enough. (It was 12:30am by the time we were done.) I just added 1 more pic, btw.
