Which is louder: Stillen or Nismo Exhaust?
I know that Stillen has more hp output than Nismo, but I havent heard either one in person. I have heard clips of both and cant decide. Which one is louder?

I have Stillen exhaust and I LOVE the sound. I just think its over priced. As for sound, its not throaty at all. It has very smooth deep sound. Like I said, I LOVE the Stillen sound not because I have one but I really like the deep smooth sound.
In my opinion, I think Nismo is little louder and has more throaty sound. Nismo almost sounds like stock muffler except it lounder.
Have you thought about Borla?
My friend has one and is has pretty good sound. Its just little lounder than stock but he price is good & HP gain is pretty good too.

Here are some video clips - right click and "Save as". The dyno run is my car, and the on-road clip is another owner in the Dallas area. Enjoy! Topspeed Exhaust Videos

Dyno Video
My server is intermittent, maybe it's easier to attach the videos here. This is my car on Dynapack dyno, which hooks up directly to the drive wheel axles.
OK - that didn't work, maybe the file is too big, now I'm trying to attach the drive-by of another owner's car...

Heard them all in person. Nothing is as loud or intimidating as the RS*R. That's one LOUD exhaust. It could quite possibly drown out the Injen SES's tone.
It's a very bassy low frequency tone that bounces off surrounding walls.

okay so i LOVE the stock exhaust note, the growl is catchy, i just wish
a) more hp
b) stay close to stock note, but louder
c) shed a little weight on the deal
so whats the consensus here guys?
I've heard Nismo is the closest to the stock note, just louder.
Borla duals are similar?
