Stillen Catback installed

[johnny_d]

took me and my brother in law about an hour to install it. Some of the bolts were really tough to get out. Stillen forgot to supply the 2 rubber hanging thingy for the resonator because OEM 3.5 does not have the resonator. The frame came with 2 bolts to hang onto but no rubber hanging.... Luckily we were able to find 2 from his old exhaust. So remember, if you have the 3.5SE you WILL need to buy 2 rubber ring hanging thingy.

The install was pretty straight forward, the rubber hanging thingy were a pain in the *** but we managed to get them off and put them back on.

The test drive. Whow, I can definitely feel POWERRRRRRRR. Unlike the intake where I felt little throttle response, this is POWERRRRR.... The initial whoo sound can be a bit deafening but one sec later it roars to a different note as you accelerate. Man, I feel like i was sitting in front of 2 rocket booster as the sound and the power you can feel at ur feet pushes the car forward.

i hate reading... i like listening...NOW POST VIDS

[johnny_d]

wait til monday, my friend. Don't have the camcorder here, it's at work

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Very nice! I ordered mine yesterday.

[johnny_d]

don't forget the rubber pieces

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Yes! Thank you for the tip on the exhaust hangers.

[Shift_Altima]

you guys think the nismo will be similar in terms of power gains

[2brian0]

I really hope stillen will step up and include the rubber hangers in future kits or maybe they just didn't get put in your kit for some reason. Although since they don't include the gaskets either, it wouldn't surprise me.

Can't wait to hear the video (especially as you have an intake already) as these guys are still the front runner in my book for my exhaust. Only way I won't go with them is if Greddy's sounds better but I might not wait seeing as they are priced right at the moment. Did I mention I can't wait to hear the video?

One question, does it have the flat section as the stock exhaust does?

[Loop]

You might be better off with Stillen.

When I went to GReddy to get the Ti-C exhaust prototype on my car. He said its going to cost at least 1k.

I got my nismo catback for 3.5 for 891 shipped.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

I jumped on the Stillen because they are offering Free shipping AND it was 10% off. They add a $9.95 handing charge. Total was $710 shipped.

ezeeb - where did u buy the exhaust from my friend

[EzeebMOS3]

Leeparts.com, they're located in Maine.

I should be getting it tomarrow, however with this Nor'Easter it doesn't look promissing.

rubber ring hanging thingy

Did your exhauste come with gaskets? If not, what did you use to seal?

[missmedude]

I got my 2.5 nismo cat for 714

[II Knucklez II]

hey when u get it please post up a video, i been dieing to hear the nismo.

[chow]

now there are two people on this board with exhausts that nobody else has. Where are the two videos to accompany the new exhaust note?! Somebody get one on the forums before i shoot myself!! Im dying to hear both the Nismo and Stillen.

[EzeebMOS3]

My Nismo should be installed this Wednesday, I'll have pics/vids up that day....Snow storm might cause a delay though, I've got my fingers crossed.

[chow]

Hey Ezee

Make sure you have a DRIVE BY shot of the car.. I find that the stationary rev doesnt do the car justice. Also be sure to at LEAST hit 5k-6k rpm, we wanna hear it roar!

If you wanna make it extra good include the Driveby and IN cabin, just for the folks who dont have one and want to see if it can fit into their lives.

[johnny_d]

Eric,

Stillen asked us to use OEM gaskets.

Today at the SoCal meet, we heard the Borla, Tanabe and of course my Stillen which is still breaking in

wanted to know which one was the loudest and which one's sound was the lowest

[EzeebMOS3]

Don't worry ill get a lot of vids, believe me i know the vids on youtube dont do any justice of what the nismo sounds like. It's so frustrating, especially when you buy it without really knowing what it sounds like...

[EzeebMOS3]

It's Monday......Vids??

[2brian0]

I second that....I want to order the Stillen while the price is still low but I'd like to hear a video first. I know there are some floating around with it on the sedan but I want to hear it on the coupe, especially since you have the same intake I do....PLEASE!!!!!

[cuzzbubba420]

I'm going to break down and order the Stillen Friday I think. I've been going back and forth on if I should order it but you can't beat the sale price and free shipping.. I'm going to order Friday most likely and I should have it by the following Friday and do an Install that Saturday. Only bad thing is my digital camera doesn't get volume on the vids so it won't do any good for sound!!

[dangeris]

Ordered mine on Sunday. Bothe the Injen and the Stillen Catback. Man I can't wait to get it installed. I was thinking of doing it myself but I think I'm just going to bring it to my buddies and have him install it. Besides, I know he'll have theose rubber hanging thingys... As soon as I get it installed along with the Injen, I'll take a vid and post it.

[cuzzbubba420]

Alright, I broke down and finally placed my order!! $710.15 out the door for Stillen cat-back and my mechanic is going to install next Saturday for $50-75!

[cfrank467]

Can someone let me know where i can get the Injen CAI ... my engine is a 3.5 if tht has anything to do with it

[johnny_d]

most of us here get it from Stillen, if you look, there's a thread about getting a group discount

[kyle@stillen]

Glad you guys are enjoying the exhaust systems.

In regards to the rubber isolators, we recommend re-using the factory supplied isolators. They should have been attached to the hangers. In the instructions it should have mentioned re-using the factory isolators. If it is not in the instructions then we need to review those and I apologize for the confusion.
