Red370,
How do they differ, in your opinion now that you have had both exhaust on your car?

I know a lot of this is subjective , but I like to know what your thoughts are now on these two good but very different "X" and "Y" types exhaust systems?

Thanks,
Alex

The Stillen/Berk combo was the only exhaust system I had, I drive an 11' 5.0 now, and the sound is completely different

The Stillen exhaust is just as good as any other, I think that combined with the HFC's, its the best sounding system at idle/WOT. Although it is a bit heavier than the other options. The thing I liked most about it is the fact that it looks more stock than the others, I've never been a fan of round mufflers because I'm a purist and I associate fart cans with Honda Civics/RSX's and the like. The only difference between an X/Y pipe is the sound, AND THATS IT. Anyone that says one or the other offers more power is full of shyt.

My first exhaust mod was the Berk HFC's, I did an independent dyno with them and seen gains of 15whp, in the end, while it sounded better than stock, I wanted a louder system, so I added the Stillen. Now with these cars, it seems the first exhaust mod nets the most gains, so with cats/cbe combo, you probably gained between 18-20whp. I can understand how happy you are with your setup, I was in love with mine from day one, but in the end, two seats became impractical for me, so I decided to get the Mustang, keep the power that I love and gain two seats (Ford as a company is also more "mod" friendly than Nissan, they almost seem to encourage it.) Enjoy the road trip.

Thanks a lot Red370, will certainly give your comments some thought.
I was surprised by my wife at a resent car show , she could take it or leave it at most car shows , but a Shelby Cobra not sure the year looked pretty new, caught her attention, let me tell you this car was gorgeous!
Oh well!

Good luck with the Mustang I’m sure with your car know-how you’ll make any car a winner.

After driving around and I mean driving with the Stillen CAI, CBE / Berk HFC combo the last two days, I'm just amazed at the butt gains so far, but mostly that wonderful roar, and exhaust note from low to top end, and to think it’s going to get a bit louder and deeper is in a few more driving cycles is amazing!

Here's a final sound clip. YouTube - MOV05014.AVI

Enjoy
