Picking up this exhaust today, stillen full catback exhaust. The invidia q300 mated to the resonated test pipes is still to tame for me.

Once cleaned up, I bet that's going to look better than the Invidia setup. So... 2 1/4" pipes, 12" resonators and clamp-connectors to the axle-back? Are Stillen tips single-wall, or is that sharply beveled edge?

I'll be honest, for about 1/10th of a second I looked at that picture and wondered what was up with the flimsy brackets between the resonators. Just one, ridiculous moment, LOL.

I felt the invidia cans looked great, but my only gripe was the canister shape from behind. I'd prefer the more oval look of the top-speed and stillen.

You are correct about sizing, and it looks like a double walled slant tip. Check this pic out.

Oh, nice. Car ****.

Slanted tips... excellent! I could have so easily answered that question with a quick trip to Stillen.com, but if it made you post more pics, all the better. Are Stillen tips resonated?

Off topic... but are the bolts actually red in your spring buckets?

That's not my pic, I pulled it from Stillen's blog. And, it does seem to be red. What an odd choice to have a colored bolt in a low visibility spot.

Oops. Well, could have been you... MW Sedan and all.

Although that underside is freakishly clean.

Look forward to your impressions w/ the Stillen.
Lol John at the License plate frames being used as exhaust supports

I installed the Stillen mated to the beluga resonated test pipes. It is much funner to drive now, I turn some heads at WOT with this setup. There is a hint of rasp at 2800-3100 ish but it can be avoided with pedal control. I am still not 100% happy with it, I may switch to HFC or go custom with the exhaust.



Cleaned her up late last night after work. I'm thinking about wrapping the mirrors in black next weekend.

I think I've said it before, but I will say it again: the roof wrap looks great. I think the mirrors will really bring it together.

Just getting better & better, that exhaust looks good back there.

I did a few things this weekend. I swapped out the Beluga resonated test pipes for the Fast Intentions Resonated because they were a better match for the Stillen. The FI test pipes are 2.25'', and have a longer resonator as well. The rasp is 100% gone where it was pretty violent from 2800-3300 and 5k+ with the Beluga's.


I also wrapped my rear diffuser with Hexis gloss black vinyl. I am not sure how I feel about it. The alternatives are the auto kits diffuser which has fitment issues and the Carbon Signal is too pricey.


Lastly, the window trim in the same vinyl used above.

The vinyl wrap looks good in those pictures.

Did you DIY the rear bumper? That's a difficult line to hold steady on the cut... or was it pre-cut?
