Stillen Catback Exhaust Opinion
Stillen Catback Exhaust Opinion
I need your help, I know several of you know have this exhaust however I need to know how it sounds from inside the car while at cruise. I had a Stillen full catback on a 4th Generation and the drone was so bad especially on the Interstate that I vowed to never again do that to my car.
So what's the verdict?
Thanks

From O-30, you know you have a different exhaust under there. On the hwy, no difference in sound while cursing IMO. Never know anything is under there. When you put your foot into it, it wakes up the inside, but then again, not while cursing! Keep in mind that I also have the cold intake system also, this may contribute to a little more noise.
Hope this helps

It isn't loud like most cars are but does not sounds slightly diffrent then stock. There is a deeper tone to it then the stock that is very noticible even from inside the car in the city and on the highway. You eventually tune it on when your on the highway but its is much louder inside.
Yes I agree however Corsa from what I remember only supports V-8 engines? Have you contacted them to see if they are going to support the Maxima? I think while your waiting you might as well play the lottery since those odds might be slightly better.
Well it seems do they have at least a few V-6 and a Acura 2.4L so I stand corrected. I emailed them and asked if they plan to support Nissan cars, i.e. the Z and Maxima and if they needed any R&D vehicles.

I've had nothing but Corsa exhaust on my last 3 cars for a reason.
Anyone interesting should email them to help support our application.

Yes, Paul Santiago (Corsa rep) said that they plan on releasing a catback system this Summer that will not only be lighter than stock by eliminating the "Resonator" approach, but made of the highest quality as well.

Yes watch this video and pay attention at 1:50, NO DRONE @ 70MPH!!! Cattman claims you can't avoid the drone, I say BS. Also I love the fact that Corsa flow tests the system I haven't seen anyone else do that or provide the test results if they do.

My only issue is, and don't take offense to this, before this conversation I have never heard of Corsa. This isn't my first time around the block with aftermarket nissan products either. But, I am willing to give it a shot. Keep us updated!

A simple visit to their website will give you all the assurance you need.
My last Z06 vette had their titanium system on it and it was VERY nice and tame idling and cruising, but pass 4k RPM and it ripped so nasty yet so clean that even Mustang boys gave props.

It's hard to put a price on quality guys...
I had a Corsa premium system on my high compression LS1 for years and even though the catback wasn't designed for that kind of pressure, they swapped the muffler out every time with nothing but great customer service over the years.
I must've replaced the muffler on that system 3 times over the past 6 years due to the compression of my motor, but I never paid a dime for shipping or anything. They call tagged the worn muffler and shipped a new one... no questions asked.
Email Paul Santiago from there website to show your interest! This may get things moving even faster.

Guys after multiple emails to corsa about an exhaust for the maxima, i finally receiced an email back today and it doesnt look good. I would really love for corsa to make an exhaust for our maxima because i would b all over that the moment it would be released. Here is a copy of the email returned
We are always looking at new applications...but the Maxima is not on a
list that I have seen.
Now, this can always change, so just stay tuned.
Thanks,
Jim

One of the main issues I'm seeing with all of these aftermarket mufflers/exhaust set ups is that the pipes coming out the rear are so much smaller than the OEM pipes that they look too puny and odd as if they don't belong:0(
I like the way my exhaust tips look, they look big and it scares the crap out of Mustangs behind me, I can tell the guys driving sometimes are a little intimidated and wondering whether or not they should test me. LOL!

No problem emailing Corsa, I did already and they asked me where I lived and if I was interested in providing a donor car. I can't since I obviously live in AZ and they are in Ohio but just keep in mind this isn't a Stillen expect to pay $1500+ so make sure if you email you really do intend to purchase otherwise Corsa will never support our community again.

Their exhaust systems are always competitively priced for a fully stainless steel performance exhaust.
I'd remove that number from your post before you mislead members.

Here is the response I recieved guys. Not looking to great.
Hello and thank you for the follow up interest.
On behalf of us here, we do appreciate the fact that you having already
experienced our products.
CORSA Performance continues to innovate and develop exhaust systems for premium
markets.
At this time we are currently working on applications for product release within

the Nissan line of vehicles.
Yes we have discussed the Z cars and their counterparts to include Maxima fairly
recently, yet are not currently working on systems or muffler options for these
vehicles.
We do appreciate the interest and follow up inquiry.
