Stillen Catback issues

Hey guys! New to the forum. I bought a 2020 Sunset Drift SR back in July. I work in sales for Nissan and our dealership has an account with Stillen. Since there are not a lot of options for exhausts on these cars I ordered one through my parts department.

The Catback was on back order for roughly 3 weeks, due to covid and a steel shortage. When it arrived the fitment was awful, mid pipe would not line up with the axel back, axel back was way off from lining up with the exhaust tips that connect to the rear fascia. Welds were extremely poor.

i reached out and they said it’d take roughly a month to get a new one sent out. Today it arrived and guess what, same issue. The welds were better, and the mid pipe to axel back lined up. But the fitment was way off and there was zero chance it was fitting into the exhaust tips on the rear fascia.

my question is has anyone else with a 19-20 picked up a catback from Stillen and was their experience this **** poor?

Somewhere in this forum, there are indeed complaints on stuff from Stillen. Given the cost, it should be perfect. Realistically, messing with the exhaust could net you lots of mooing cow noises and truly little power gain. I think the stock exhaust system does the job with the right amount of growl.
Good luck with what you end up doing.
