Just got the cat-back installed yesterday and it sounds great!! I have no problem with droning what so ever and as long as your in "D" and not reving to high it just hums a "purty" deep sound!! If you stomp on the gas she'll roar for sure though! I haven't had anywhere to get the rpm's up but I do notice an immediate gain but I need to get on the Highway! I got some pics below and I'll post a video as soon as I can.. (won't have volume though so it's kinda pointless) I know a few others who have installed this exhaust have had problem with droning but I give it an A++!!

Nice... so how much? and was it difficult to put it on or did you get someone to do it for you. Im divided by either the stillen or Nismo.. I was starting to hear some negative feedback on the Stillen exhaust but all those were 3.5L and I have a 2.5L. So it sounds like you really like your exhaust. Please tell more.. do you feel a diffrence in the lower, Mid or high RPMS?

I paid 710 out the door from Stillen w/ the free shipping promo. I deff. feel a difference in the lower rpms and in throttle response. When you start raising the rpm's it start's roaring with a deep growl. I've been wanting to really get the rpm's up to the sweet spot (w/ the cvt) but I'm in the city and there are cops everywhere!! I was really impressed with how it turned out and it's pitch. I had a mechanic install it for 70 bucks and it took him like an hour. (I'm sure he milked it a little) I would suggest this exhaust for anyone w/ the 2.5 because the droning if very minimal if any at all! I'm at work right not but when i go out on my lunch break I will get down and get some pics and post them for sure!

I have a video but I need to re-do it at lunch because I captured my license plate in there so I'll have that up to and it will be way better than those two pics. It doesn't have sound but I will take an in-cabin also while at lunch and post!

Alright, I took another video and I tried to get the best shots possible but I was on lunch and it was kinda quick. I also took the photo from the rear!

He did say that there would be no sound, several times actually. And that is very sad, I'd like to hear it, along with a bunch of other people...

Yeah, sucks being a 2.5 owner with no sound bits available. My decision is based on what the different exhausts sound like. I do NOT want a ricer type sound. I'd throw up every time I started my car. So c'mon all you adventurous 2.5 owners, go try out the different exhausts for me!

All I have is a digital camera that takes videos but does not capture sound and I do not own a cam corder... I guess I thought something was better than nothing!!

Okay, I'm gonna order it on your word. If it sounds ricey I'll send you a bill!

Nah, if I don't like the sound I'll sell it on ebay or to someone on here at a reduced cost to make some money back.

EDIT: Ordered!

I'm telling ya you'll love it! The only down side is I find myself in "Manual" mode often to ring out the rpm's more to listen to the exhaust and I ain't exactly getting my 24 mpg in the city anymore! hah

Oh God. Was it in Brea cuz Brea cops are the worst. They have nothing to do so I always see them pulling people over on Imperial and on Lambert.

So back to subject on hand, I sooo want an exhaust now but will have to wait until after I do my taxes or until the federal tax refund comes out. -_- Maybe some overtime is in my future...
