Christmas will be early in my household this year Next Saturday to be exact, the wife and I are taking a road trip for the holidays so we decided to open gifts early!!! And I think that Santa (aka wife) has purchased the Catback full exhaust from Stillen!!!!! I can't wait to see, so I will let you all know by next Saturday what the status is and I will defintely post pics and sound clips of the new setup!!!!

 

I'm really curious what the stillen exhausts sound like..and also the intake..is there any website or sound clip someone can post so i can listen to it?

 

+1 on that man, we have all been waiting for that clip for a while now.

 

Hey guys just got back from my road trip to FT Worth TX over the Holidays and I will BE POSTING the sound clips later tomorow. I will be using a better camera to get better sound and I will also be installing the rest of the system to make it a full catback system and I will have both sound clips!!! I know you all have been waiting and I am sorry for the delay. It will be hooked up this weekend barring any outside issues!!!

 

Hey Silversurfer,
I don't really like the video clip I took with our small digital camera. I don't think that it really recorded the true sound of STILLEN system on the MAX. But I uploaded it anyway on youtube. This was right after I installed it on a very cold morning, hope you guys like it and I will be posting a new clip from better camera that should capture a better sound!!!! Hopefully this will hold you over until I post a better sound clip of my system. Here is the link:

Choice, where is that other sound clip with the full cat back installed? inquiring minds want to hear. Im rolling back home to New York in April and would like to get the exhaust before i go, but my purchase is awaiting a good sound clip, and since the dudes at Stillen wont provide the video to the public..... would you help us out?

 

No prob Silversurfer,
It has been so cold up here lately that I not had a good day to get a better video. Then to be honest I forgot about it and we actually had some good weather this weekend. It is supposed to be crappy Monday but on Tuesday it should be nice sunny and in the 70's so I will get a better video then!

 

is it just the angle you took the video at or does the right side sit higher than the left.

I am also wondering how the sound has changed after these mufflers have "burnt in" if at all.

 

cool beans choice, glad to hear its warming up for you.

 

Hey guys I am working on that video, but just a heads up my STILLEN INTAKE just came in today and I will be installing it first thing tomorrow when I wake up on SATURDAY!!!!! To be continued.............

 

What size diameter is the piping. 2.5in I assume? I am curious why Stillen doesn't consider a 3in version when they show HP gains on a 5.5 gen over a 2.5in exhaust. I suppose they are interested in better sound, or just cost measures.

 

What is the difference if i just get a custom fullcatback exhaust for $350 or getting stillen for $850..performance and sound wise?

 

what is up with this video/ sound clip for the full cat back exhaust?!

 

I spoked to Josh on 7thgenmaxima.org cause i think that we all have been waiting long enougph to hear what the full exhaust sounds like. Well i got a reply and here it is.

Video of Full Stillen Exhaust

Now Josh went out of his way to do this for all of us so if you like how it sounds like i do (i'll be looking into getting one soon) then i suggest picking one up.

ENJOY.

 

from the sounds of it the rear section exhaust sounded better than the full cat back. Or that full cat back video was just poor quality...

 

I would have to say the same thing. What do you think choice89?

 

this was a horrible point and shoot video in front of the building with 25mph winds.. not indicative of a true sound. But both the rear section and cat-back have a similar note due to the muffler design used, the cat-back is going to free up some additional hp. Purely a personal choice..

 

I would still get the cat-back for the same reason to free up those extra ponies. But Josh 25mph winds, how come those trees infront ain't moving. LoL

 

LOL.. I don't know! That is kinda weird! You can hear the wind noise on the camera.. maybe for 8 seconds the trees knew they were being filmed.. just to mess with me..

 

Hey Josh, good to see you make it back here. I know you be Mad Busy and it takes a lil time before you can drop in.

Just wondering, do you have any cams for the 09 Max? Ever find out why is it that simply adding a CAI/WAI to the Z you can get 55 HP but not such a substantial gain for an 09 Max???

 

Unfortunately I do not have as much time as I'd like, that's for sure. But I haven't missed a PM, so please feel free to hit me up anytime.

We have not gone down the road with the Maxima to swapping engine internals. Just like forced induction, there really hasn't been the aftermarket demand to jump on some of the projects that can be extremely expensive to R&D.

Remember though the 370Z is a different motor.. dual throttle body.. rear wheel drive.. not transverse mounted like the Max, etc. Not really apples to apples..

 

anyone have pics of it on yet....??? i wanna see it from the back view.......hope it sounds aggressive.....

 

Pics are all over bro. Just search "Stillen 2009 Maxima" and you'll run into them.

The system is very tame having a stock-like sound with good performance gains.

The engraved tips look very nice, but I'm personally waiting for Corsa to step into the game.

 

how tame would you say it is? Im seriously considering one at the moment but i want one that is louder and sounds better than the current oem one thats in the max.

 

Check out the videos and take a listen man...

It sounds faintly more aggressive than stock, if at all so I'd say it's for those wanting to keep things luxurious with performance instead of loud and aggressive.
