How close should Stillen CBE be to crossmember?

Josh@STILLEN · 06-11-2010, 05:27 PM

The exhaust simply needs to clear the crossmember, and you shouldn't experience any rattling.

Thoughts on the car after the installation? It will change slightly as the exhaust burns in.

Thanks, Josh. I was a bit concerned because it was fine when I left the shop but there was a slight rattle when I got home. I took it back and he said it had shifted down a bit and re-adjusted it. The rattle hasn't come back, but I wanted to check about the clearance so I could take it back Monday if it was too close. I was going to call Chuck on Monday, but I won't worry about it now.

I'm really happy with the sound. I didn't want anything too loud since it's a roadster and I listen to music while drving so I had a Nismo installed. It was too quiet. The Stillen is just right for me. It's quiet when just driving along and sounds great under load. The Nismo is for sale over in the other section. I should have bought this one to start with! (That comment probably won't help me sell the Nismo.)

Sorry, the Nismo is long gone. If you're interested in a used Stillen, send me a pm.
