It looks awesome and sounds great!!! The pipes look real cool compared to the original exhaust. It sounds deep and rumbles.

I'm going to try it for a week or so and see if it is too noticeable for my Corporate Sales job. If so, I might put it up for sale. (sob ... sob) Oh the joys of growing up and getting responsibility.

It looks hot though.

Side by side with stock. I had even tried to clean up the stock exhaust but there's no comparison.

Looks good

I'm lookin for an exhaust for my 01, and I want something that's not loud and annoying. Keep the car a sleeper, ya know. Would you recommend this unit? Anyone else feel free to enter opinions. Thanks

I'm not sure if this classifies as a stealth mod. It definitely increases the sound of the exhaust in the 2-3K range with a low deep rumble. It sounds a lot like a true sports car. It is definitely louder than stock, but not annoying at all.

thanks for the update...a quick question

Anyone have any idea how this sounds when coupled with a Cattman Y-pipe. Or even better a Stillen Intermediate pipe (future thought on the intermediate).

Had an old Stillen on my 96SE...and loved it.

Looking forward to this beast (especially with the Y-pipe if not too loud)

The exhaust looks great.

This is gonna sound dumb, but the picture is deceiving... how the hell is your car lifted? I see the stands way up in the front, but nothing in the rear.

Re: Jack Stands

Well, I have the stands perfectly in the center and the car is just kind of suspended. j/k

Actually the jack stands are right where the rear jack supports are. It must be the angle of the picture from where I took it that makes the stands look farther forward than they are. They pretty much are right in front of the rear wheel well.

Actually this was dyno'd by HKS and it picked up 8 hp. This was very similar to the prototype exhaust they made for I think SCC, but speaking with their head of Tech Sales they didn't produce anymore hp or torque with a full catback. They would've loved to make a catback hence more $$$ but didn't make any more power.

Probably explains why also the AE muffler and Infiniti makes 5 more hp than the stock 2k.

Um... this was covered just a few days ago.. the AE and I30 muffler is the same as any other max muffler. The HP come from a larger diameter Y.

I paid $399 from Stillen. The Part # was 3302 EX 082. I know, I know, there was a post that went around about how expensive it is and that a Dynomax is cheaper. I always have had great luck with HKS (sound, quality, and looks) and plus its different.

The mods I have are a Stillen Intake, FTSB, RSB, and now the HKS exhaust. I got a hold of the HKS internal document of the dyno, it showed some impressive gains.
