Woohoo! I installed the Stillen intake myself on Sunday...man, the sound of that alone was effing fantastic. I just got back from the shop that bolted my Stillen TD Cat-Back on and I definitely had to change my pants! One of the most satisfying things I have done to any of my cars.

Clear corners were also installed...but that pales in comparison to the wonderous sound of the G now!!!

(Yes, yes, I know, pics will be up tomorrow)

Woohoo! It is an awesome sound huh! Did the shop bolt up the exhaust or weld it? I had a leak on mine and they ended up welding the mid pipe instead of using the clamps.

Hey Joe, how did you realize you had a leak in the exhaust? I'm going to be installing the Stillen Gen 2 cat back on my car soon hopefully and would like to know ahead of time if I need to weld or use the seals...

You can hear it from under the car...kinda makes a "putt-putt-putt" sound when you turn the car off. If you're doing it yourself, I recommend the use of band clamps instead of the U-clamps that come with the kit. You'll need 4 for the mid-pipe connection...or welding it if you have the equipment.

I had to weld mine because the installed C-clamps put indents in the metal, making the band clamps unsuccessful in stopping the leaks.

I really hate working on exhaust...
