Review: Stillen Catback Exhaust

JB1 · 10-04-2009, 12:56 AM

Thanks for the review Spearfish, looks like I have to put the Stillen one back on my list of potentials. I'm starting to dislike the sound of my Berk HFC's with
stock exhaust more and more. So I think it'll be back to stock cats and then getting a New CBE.

One additional reason I chose the Stillen is that many of our senior forum members have the Stillen CBE with Berk or Stillen HFCs. They have no complaints about the combo and say there is still no drone but perhaps a touch of rasp. I like the idea of being able to add HFCs without compromising my sound quality so I went with the Stillen CBE.

Just as a note, there is NO rasp with the Stillen CBE alone.

Congrats on your new CBE! I recommend adding a HFC. Great bang for the buck so to speak. The HFC will add some rasp.

Thanks for the review I wonder if the earlier versions of the exhaust had the slight bend in the Y pipe or was this the fix for the cross member rubbing issue? Either way nice to see it fits without rubbing issues, I always liked the look and sound of this exhaust just didn't want any installation issues.

I think I am still going to do the Berk HFC first then pull the trigger on an exhaust, Stillen's Cat Back is now a consideration again!

.... with FricFrac

I enjoy and never tire of the Stillen CBE sound, it just seems to sound better the more I drive the car, in fact l look forward to it every time I turn the car on!
