I have installed both and prefered the nismo for looks and note. The Stillen is very nice and easy to install, but rather heavy and the tips just are not as pleasant to the eye.

try to listen to them in person. its mainly personal preference, and dont rely on sound clips off the net, they dont do any exhaust justice. alot of guys here prefer the nismo, im installing it soon.

Join the Nismo brother and sisterhood. Nissan wanted the car to sound a certain way hear it by purchasing Nismo exhaust. Very good quality and you dont have to deal with 40 million pieces to put it togther. And for extra value get those RT cats.

Stillen because it produces more power.

hehe - I have the Nismo. Have seen and heard the stillen also and its very nice. It does make more HP than the Nismo but I believe its also heavier. Torque ????
The Nismo tips look better IMO.

I thought about getting the Stillen exhaust based solely on performance gains. But then I saw the marginal gains over the competition. Throw in the price and added weight, as well as the sound and looks, and the Stillen did not seem that much better than the Nismo.

So I went for the Nismo based on overall performance, weight reduction, looks, sound, and price.

Throw on a pair of RT cats, and you've got yourself a great feeling and sounding Z!

Check out the Stillen site. They have a new rolled tip exhaust. Is Nismo true dual? How much would the exhaust cut on my current time below?

I had Stillen, I replaced it with the Nismo. My feeling is that the finish and tone is more my style. It does not have as much pull but is very close. I did like the Stillen tone alot it was just different. Stillen was deeper and the Nismo is a bit more high pitched. I dont think you can go wrong with either of these exhausts. I think for the systems that are avail these are the 2 best.

you shouldn't play around with people's emotions like that, someone's feelings could really get hurt...

and adds just as much weight to the car at the same time...

stillen is more of a deep hollow tone..

the nismo is a full rich exotic sound..

nismo is going for $847
