On the v2 kit. So let me get this strait. You pay Stillen $3400 or $3800 or what ever it is now. Than another $500 to install, hopeing that stillen sent instrucions with the kit and all the correct/nessesary parts to install. You finally get the kit on and you have to worry about the car not starting, not wanting to idle, or just stalling out at every light. Driving around praying the belt does not brake. Ya its worth it. It seems like I would make sure the kit was not going to be a pain in the azz if I was stillen. And the funny thing is , is that they act like they have no idea what I'm talking about when I call. Call #1 Why does the y-pipe make a funny hissing sound-(stillen)- I dont know why, we have never heard of it, is it installed correctly. #2 Why is the V2 having so muck trouble-(stillen)- We have not heard of that. I could go on but I am pissing myself off. Are they just trying to get one over on me, or what the fluck Chuck.

because they are STILLEN and are the all powerful and all knowing

you forgot to mention the waiting list.. stillen is quick to sell you things, yet they forget to tell you that its out of stock or back ordered for a few years

say not to use the SC and Y-pipe in conjunction on an AUTO?? I thought I read that somewhere in the catalog.

i wouldnt buy a sticker from stillen, and as far as there y pipes are concerned they are garbage, they gave me the same song and dance when , they also say not to use the y pipe with the s/c is because the tranny supposidly cant handle it.

They say the tranny can't handle it, but some people have both on their car and still running fine.

I collected a bunch of feedback from V2 owners and none of them had an easy time of it initially. I'm really glad that I have a V1 kit. Over 86k miles on the car, 25k with the SC along with other mods (see sig). No problems. Time for a VB upgrade and tranny flush though.
