My Stillen exhaust sounds like ****! Anyone notice this?
I have a CE Y-pipe, CE High flow cat, and recently got a Stillen cat-back put on. It sounds good when you're barely on it, but under WOT or even medium acceleration it sounds incredibly raspy and ugly. it makes my car sound kinda broke as he1l. i hate it. i've had all my gaskets changed and had 2 exhaust shops look at it and no one knows what the deal is. i think it has something to do with the stillen exhaust cause it didn't make that raspy noise with my old muffler. I like the Stillen performance gains though! ;-)

the resonator wont take the rice sound you have away, itll just quiet it down a tad.. you have the major things you need for the gains, which is the y-pipe, and the cat. cause they eliminate the most restriction out of your enitre exhaust.. if you want to shut the car up, and keep the gains, just but a stock muffler back on it. the stillen muffler at best only gives you about 2 hp.. if that. id keep the b-pipe that came with the stillen, cause you lost the resonator.

toss the unequal y pipe and get headers or get an equal y pipe made. that will solve the retarded sound.

Stillen has an "improved design" y-pipe ... Their last version was equal length, and this new one tries to be, more than others.

I might add headers to the project while I'm at it, althought if I go turbo I wont buy the cattman ones...anyways... I have budg. y, stock cat, resonated budg. B and stillen rear section and i think it sounds quite good. Its very deep, not very buzzy, and very loud when step on it. I like it a lot and have gotten many good comments on it.
