Actually, that would be inaccurate. According to Sport Z Magazine, Injen overall is probably the best exhaust for power, appeal, and budget. I bought the Injen SES for $800 shipped. Good luck trying to do that with Stillen, ain't gonna happen. Anyway, I am having David (the editor in chief of Sport Z Mag) send me the results so we can all be clear as to which one is the best choice for your setup. As of right now, the best exhausts for power output is Injen, Stillen, Borla, and Nismo, not really in any order. Other than that, not much else is going to compare to these 4. Stillen is the heaviest of the bunch and is way over priced (typical Stillen). If you're looking for a bargain, choose either the Injen or Borla. They both perform well, yet the Injen has better looks in my opinion. Especially the angled pipes from the back....very nice. Borla is not polished and looks boring, but to each his own. Nismo has the best warranty, I believe.
One thing you may also want to consider if you get the Injen or any other dual exhaust, there is a middle and rear brace that sometimes if not installed correctly, the exhaust will rub (lay) against the frame and will cause a vibrating noise that will bother the hell out of you. You can simply wrap the exhaust with heavy duty exhaust wrap that you find at performance shops in addition to fitting it right. If you're local in DFW, TX, you could call Gotham Racing, ask for Aaron, he can get you some. Not sure about price, but I know it's cheap.

Okay folks,
Here's the information you all wanted! I cannot share all the details of these results, I do not have permission too. If you want to see the entire results, you'll need to subscribe to Sport Z Magazine, ask for Dave (Chief Editor) and he can set you up. No, I don't work for the magazine, I can only speak of the work they do and it's excellent stuff for our cars and FAQ's. I highly recommend you subscribe to the magazine....and yes, they do a ton of stuff on G35's and will do more this year....here's the link!
Sport Z Magazine (yes includes G35 coverage)
They have excellent articles, sometimes I don't know how I'd fair without it personally....
The exhaust contenders are Stillen, Injen, Borla, Nismo, and 5Zigen. I will only list power outputs, not anything else like weight, sound decimals, warranty, piping diameter, and tip diameter measurements. However, I will say this....it's true that Stillen is by far the heaviest, at least by double digits from the second heaviest. From heaviest to lightest is: Stillen, then Nismo, then Borla, then Injen, then 5Zigen. I personally still think that Injen is the best choice from the 4 above, hands down!! Don't waste your money on 5Zigen....sorry if you already have!
Stillen:
Peak Horsepower: 8.1
Peak Torque: 7.3
Injen:
Peak Horsepower: 7.6
Peak Torque: 5.1
Borla:
Peak Horsepower: 8.2
Peak Torque: 2.7
Nismo:
Peak Horsepower: 6.3

5Zigen:
Peak Horsepower: (-3.4)
Peak Torque: 0.2

Yea, I thought it was too, I haven't had that problem at all. It's performed very well, hasn't let me down yet! But that's good info to know for earlier versions, so thanks!!

Here's the setup I'm going w/:
UT Ypipe which is on right now. Fitment was perfect & sounds awesome...unnoticable @ low rpm but sounds mean when opened up. Performance wise...noticed minimal HP gains on the butt dyno. I'm guessing maybe 5 - 7 hp.
+
Blitz Nur Touring which is on order...should get it by Xmas. Darren @ Intense Motorsports says they've been delayed due to USDM fitment issues.

RS*R... beautifully crafted, lightweight and powerful. VERY loud though... i have the silencers on and it is still a bit loud. sounds like stock at 2500 rpm though, which is great for highway cruising (around 70~75 mph).
