Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

spearfish25 · 10-02-2009, 10:33 PM

Bought the Stillen CBE for a few reasons. 1) more middle-ground tone rather than balls-to-the-wall which wouldn't work for me as a daily driver, 2) price was right with the rebate, 3) plays 'nice' sound-wise with HFCs, 4) I had it delivered 3 days after I ordered it, and 5) no issues with less ground clearance (my car will already be a snow plow in the winter...I don't need to bang up my exhaust on potholes too).

I'm having it installed tomorrow morning. We'll find out if the fitment issues are really solved with the Stillen CBE in about 12 hours.

I'm really interested in your impression of the Stillen CBE. More specifically, its volume comparison with the muffler delete. I'm at a loss for which FI exhaust resonator configuration is similar in volume, and to my knowledge no one has taken dB readings of any FI configuration. Maybe knowing how the Stillen compares will help some.

I'll definitely post a comparison with the stock and muffler delete. I assume I've currently experienced the two extremes. My thought is the Stillen leans closer to the stock as an intermediate while the FI will be closer to the muffler delete. I just couldn't chance any drone which is 100% intolerable for me as a daily driver so I went the more conservative Stillen route. Review to follow.
