I wouldn't say that. The Stillen exhaust is one of the best as far as power gain is concerned. It also has a very nice sound, and competitive weight.

It might be wise to wait for the Berk exhaust to see what they come up with, and even Borla's might be worth the wait.

Competitive weight? It is the heaviest exhaust I have seen for the 370Z so far. AAM is lighter by at least 5 lbs., and the Fujimura is 10 lbs. lighter than stock which is way lighter than the Stillen which is around 10 lbs. heavier than stock.

Granted we need weights on more exhausts to see what is the norm, but from what I have seen so far the Stillen is heavy as hell.

But in a competitive sense, how much gain is in the AAM or Fujimura (I have not seen dyno results from those two)? The Stillen offers one of the highest rear wheel HP gains from a CBE so far and only adds 10 pounds. Now if AAM or Fujimura can get close (does not have to equal) in performance and reduce weight then it is a tough call on which is better then.

That is all personal preference. I am just pointing out that this guy said the Stillen has a competitive weight, and from what I have seen, that is a false statement.
