Yeah, I heard a lot of good things for racingline y-pipe. But, I haven't heard much of the stillen exhaust though. Most people usually go with nismo, ebay catback, or magnaflow exhaust.

Hopefully somebody will chime in.......

Yes. Which has never made any sense to me.

do a search on here on the Stillen rear section, a few guys had problems with the mufflers and pipes showing really bad surface rust, and weren't able to get anything resolved with Stillen. I hope you don't have the same issues.

stillen offers headers all the way back for most maximas, but i wouldnt recommend their exhaust products.
headers look like cheap ebay headers which you can buy for cheaper on ebay. y-pipe gives you that ricer sound.

Pretty cool set up, I'm just buying a part at the time.. I just ordered the eBay cattback, I'm thinking of getting the racingline y-pipe just because I want to get headers eventually... Since I have no luck finding the ebay headers anywhere...


Let me know how it sounds man.

yeah ill get pics up as soon as i get them in. it could be a few days before i get the parts on once i get them thought but i will definitely keep everyone updated on them. also i was thinking about going with the racingline hi-flow headers. its a very economically friendly option other than the cattmann

so little known fact that when you order a stillen cat back exhaust... they take that as mufflers only. i dropped 575 on a set of mufflers.... i cannot express my extreme displeasure when i opened the box. the y pipe has yet to go on because i cannot get the screws off but i refuse to ever buy again from stillen

i am returning it. i typed in catback on google which is why i assumed it was a cat back. upon further investigation i do see it is rear section. i am returning it though and probably going to go with ebay or something of that nature

Hopefully they don't charge you a huge re-stocking fee.. If you are still willing to pay $575 and up you can always go with the Greddy Spectrum Elite which is what I got. I think I paid $702 for mine shipped but that was last Nov, all the site's since then have it listed for $900. But the ebay is pretty much the same as my Greddy without the blue tips for $200. But at that price you can always change out the mufflers/tips for better ones.

the restocking fee was something like 120 and shipping was 50? some outrageous way companies make money. bs in my opinion. yeah i am going to go with the ebay after i sell this stillen. i listed it under the classifieds so hopefully someone picks it up before i send it back!

i bought a catback exhaust on ebay the brand was modified concept. i am pretty happy with the fit and finish and price is just right. dollar for dollar a very good deal. the sound is mellow and not overpowering at any rpm range. give it a shot, its about the same price as your restocking fee and shipping
