Same dilemma here - Stillen or F.I.

Leaning towards F.I. (18" res + CF) given Tony's excellent customer service (as opposed to Stillen's lack thereof).

Was bit worried about how low the mufflers sit (wanted to keep it "stock looking") however the CF cans + reading multiple posts on here have alleviated my concerns.

I basically and trying to decide if the now 15ish week wait time for a F.I is worth it. I like the lower tones Stillen seems to make but seems to lack unless u really get into the throttle. F.I makes up in that area and sounds like it always means business.

I after spending a few weeks in these forums and new to the 370z, i really respect the opinions of you guys and hope i get some good info i havent thought about or read about in here to help me make my choice.

You should join the DFW facebook page and go to a meet if you want to hear both... Most of us in the DFW area have Stillen, and I don't think any of us have any complaints...

The biggest disadvantage I see with the Stillen is that it holds almost no resale value, not sure if that makes a difference in your decision, but if I knew how much value the Stillen loses and if I had to pay close to retail, I would've bought it used... (Paid $800~ new, which is cheap, but I got a bundle deal from a forum member who sold his car and never installed it)
BUT, if you're thinking about going Stillen, tell them you saw their deal for buying the Cat-back and getting a free G3 intake, and you'll ONLY go Stillen if they give you that deal... They'll do it, they might call you the day after to get manager's approval, but they'll do it.

Either way, IMO you can't really go wrong with either.

Glad to hear it! If you have any further questions or would like to place an order, please do not hesitate to call me directly.

Thank you, Tony
