Diversion,

You might have seen tips from early photographs by Stillen. Contact Stillen regarding the pictures you've seen to learn whether they are current.

P.S. Semtex, can you please trim the hedge just outside of your garage? Thanks.

The video clip located on the Stillen website shows that the top of the tip is not lined up with the edge of the muffer cut out in the bumper like Semtex shows..

Stillen only had that Z for one day so I doubt that they are representative for current production as that was the prototype exhaust, Josh or Kyle will hopefully pipe-up here on matters. When Stillen first released their exhaust there was a great deal of discussion on the "looks and length" of the their tips. Call Stillen as they will take the time to speak with you and are very cordial in addressing all your needs; email is the same way.

I also wonder if the cats make any difference to how far the tips stick out. Stillen bolted their exhaust up to the stock cats, while I bolted mine up to Berk HFCs. In fact, I wonder if this has any bearing on the crossmember fitment issue.

Also, Diversion -- it's not so much that I'm a huge advocate for Stillen products, I'm just really impatient is all.

In other words, I went with Stillen because they were first to market with a CBE showing decent gains for a decent price and I had/have the modding bug real bad. I'm actually keeping my eye on Berk's CBE, which is in development. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to jump ship over to Berk when they release their CBE. I doubt anyone will be able to top Stillen's G3 intake though.

LOL. This will probably make you cringe, Mr. Homeowners Association, but I actually spray diluted Roundup on my lawn to keep it from growing too much. I hate yard work. The browner, the better.

I also was thinking the same thing.. wondering if the Berk HFCs are shorter than OEM/Stillen's? I need to find a rear shot of RCZ's car and see what his tips look like to confirm.. I hear you on the modding bug, and trust me, I appreciate all the time, money, sweat and dyno time you've provided for all of us here.. I'm just trying to be a little more patient and see what other companies come up with and hope more people can provide personal dynoes and experiences!

There are some shots of RCZ's rear here: Full Stillen Bolt-On Setup - Videos!

Edit: *sigh* That came out wrong, didn't it?

Lol.. well it looks to me like his tips are sitting out further than yours do.. That might mean Stillen's HFCs are a little longer than Berk HFCs.
