Default Which Exhaust is better quality? Borla or Stillen?

I was wondering which is a better quality exhaust?


Also, There is a big price difference between Borla & Stillen.

Is Stillen worth extra $430?

Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Most people only have one exhaust, so how they can they compare objectively?


That being said, this becomes an opinion poll, and you already know the outcome due to people's opinion of Stillen. Borla will win because Stillen has a bad reputation that most any Nissan enthusiast is probably aware of.

Definitely, Stillen, but they're much heavier and honest to goodness true dual, with separate mufflers. You can also ascertain the quality from the flange joints, and not chincy round clamps; which contributes to leaks in the Borlas.

Yup, Injen too; I hear that they are coming up with the straight pipes design, before the end of this year.

Also I forgot to mention that I just puchased Stillen Exhaust.

I don't know if its worth Extra $450 for Stillen Exhaust vs Borla.

I was also hoping just little more louder than the stock but its about 15% louder.

Any was so far so good. If I had to buy it again, I just might buy Borla but on the other hand, I don't know how Borla sounds.

Why? What does voting accomplish? Most bought the Borla because it's cheaper. The Stillen is heavier but it is better quality, makes very slightly more HP and lots more torque. The Sport Z mag exhaust shoot out confirmed this and my mechanic who has installed both agrees. I found it was more than worth the price difference to me to get the Stillen.

But price alone swayed most who bought Borlas becasue it is the cheapest dual exhaust so there are a lot more of them out there.

So what does voting accomplish? Do you buy things because of how other people vote?

Here in PR I know of 2 Gs and one Z with Stillen, thats only 3.
Borla, I know of 3 Gs and like 10 or more Zs. This is only friends and is like a 3 to 10 ratio.
If you make a vote, who do u think is going to win.
I do have to admit that Borla is a good deal($450 less). , but if I had to buy again I would go with Stillen again.

I just would like to get people's opinion. To see which is more popular. Also curiosity.

As far as voting, other peoples opinion does matter when you are thinking of purchasing an item.
