It's kind of hard to tell in the video but it sounds fairly normal to me.

I'd be able to give you a better answer if I were in the car. I can actually do that SOON because my exhaust is getting her on Monday.

Hey Tyler, Is is expected that that shift knob would vibrate too? Aniway, I'm meeting with Kyle early Friday morning so he can listen to it. Hopefully he can suggest a few things to make it not vibrating as much, perhaps a different set of hangers or something

Didnt Stillen do their own R&D? That should be happening I hope they didnt make a mistake with all the exhausts.

BTW, At those driving speeds i dont think anybody can hear the note the exhaust it producing.. It sounds normal to me.

Get that vid up with revs and drive bys and etc..

Got all excited when I saw the title but was disappointed when I saw the video....I was expecting exterior videos so we could really hear what it sounds like (with you foot in it) and from listening to the video you did post, it seems as if the droning is an issue....maybe Nismo is the way to go?

I took another look at the video. The droning does seem apparent, but then i started to pick up other ambient noises, especially when you turn the blinker on, you can hear that clear as day over the exhaust, so maybe its not as bad as i thought it was at first. Still would prefer to not have it at all at cruising speed

Wow! I really like how that looks. I like the two seperate mufflers as opposed to the single.

Vids sound very nice as well.

I'm excited

That sounded tight!! I can't wait to hear how my Stillen sounds! I must admit I have had a very bad opinion of the nismo exhausts and always thought they sounded like lawn mowers. But after hearing these videos I must give it a thumbs up even though I still went with Stillen!

Like I said in my other post those exhaust mufflers are so NICE! But in certain videos, I am still hearing more front noise than your back exhaust. Could it be why its droning in your cabin?

i took my car for Kyle at Stillen to look at he said it doesn't sound like droning. I'm not sure wat you'd call that vibration sound then? aniway, I hope it will get better after 500 miles like he said. I have 250 miles on the exhaust rite now
