i've been reading a lot about stillen performance products and i'm tossed up about modding with stillen or nismo when they both finally end up releasing products for the '07 spec v. anyone have any opinions, insights, personal experiences, or heard anything about how stillen holds up against nismo as far as power gains, weight, quality, fit or anything else?

It is almost like a debate on Nike or Adidas? Most after market parts provide about the same gains.

I'd have to go Nismo. It's aftermarket, but still made by Nissan, for the most part anyways.

Both are good companies for nissan but i would go with stillen parts cause you get more performance and alot more horsepower with stillen products vs. nismo if thats what your looking for. On the other hand if your looking for a good quality part and not as much horsepower than go with nismo but i have a 2006 nissan sentra ser and im using stillen parts for it.

Nismo by far. I can't say anything good about Stillen.

The intakes and exhausts are made by other companies, the Sentra, Maxima and Altima intakes are made by AEM, the exhaust is a variation of the Greddy SP2.

I have heard nothing but good about Stillen, our parts manager has an account through them, and has ordered many parts from them. The only thing I dislike about Stillen exhausts is they look too factory.

i just recently began researching stillen and haven't been able to find anything bad about stillen either, that's why i was taken back by importcarpartsplus' comment. i don't mind the "stock" look, it seems to have a nice sound and pretty good gains in the past so i'm curious to see what they come up with for the '07 spec v. their sales department said to expect a lot to be released over the next 4 weeks or so because they are getting ready for the sema show out in las vegas and should have everything in production by then. still no word from nismo...
