Default ///stillen true dual catback exhaust for z

Well my question is this, I just picked up a one year old Stillen catback exhaust (in perfect condition) (no deffects) for $400. I have the stock exhaust on my z. Should I switch to the stillen or resale stillen to get the nismo exhaust. I was looking more into a more aggressive sound not like the stock exhaust. Is the stillen up to it? I already made research but still debating.
Your help is appreciated thank you.

Maybe put the Stillen on the car and see how you like it? If you don't like it, sell it for the Nismo.

I know, but the issue is that I burned out my oem clutch,so car has been parked for almost 2 months. Waiting for the JWT clutch/flywheel combo to arrive then install with exhaust system and get my car back in business. I just want to know how the stillen exhaust works on the z since I got it today.
Thanks.

Haha. Of course. Thats why I cant wait till I put my clutch in car. Well my main question is if it has a slightly more aggressive sound than the OEM exhaust. Thanks.

Stillen catback exhaust is a 8.5 on the Aggressive Meter.
NISMO is 8.7.

$400 bucks for the Stillen is a great deal if its in good condition.
A NISMO (not a true dual) is gonna run $1,200-1,300.
I faced a similar,"what exhaust to buy" situation.After listening to many
catbacks,I went with the NISMO.Other mods will also change the total
sound.With a popcharger,plenum spacer,I got the sound I wanted.
A bit more power,too.

Get a few jacks and put it on yourself. I'm sure someone you know would let you borrow theirs if you don't have one. Exhausts are super easy to install. Maybe a little tougher without a pit/lift but you could do it in ~1hr with some jacks I think.
