26 views no replies. I'm not sure how to take that. Surely someone has or has heard of Stillen.

Everybody has heard of Stillen, I just assume nobody has an opinion on that piece.

I have used a willall midpipe and catback and now a custom 4 inch with a magnaflow muffler. I have heard of guys on this forum using willall, hks, challenge and Greddy. Maybe there are others but I have not heard of anyone using the stillen system. Most people know of stillen but it isn't exactly the first choice of many people outside the USA. If you want feedback on the stillen product, try the NAGTROC.org forum

Why the stillen system over the many others?

Stillen was recommended by a bloke from Tassie who was at the drive day. I did some research and decided Stillen was the go. (Thats why i was after comments from anyone else that may have used Stillen).

Anyway I have bitten the bullet now. Stillen pipes on the way via Fed Ex. Should have by end of week and installed by weekend. I will post before and after vids if I can work out how too.

Done. Sounds friggin awesome. Particularly under load and change down. Havn't had a chance to really punt it yet so not sure if any noticable addition to grunt.

Will try and organise vid over weekend.

Good to see you are enjoying your new midpipe! Does it drone at highway speeds at all?

Slight drone at low throttle under load but very bearable. Drone dissipates as revs increase and completely non audible on decel.

Sounds bloody awsome on start up (particularly when cold) and settles into a nice burble on steady idle. But oh the sound under heavy acceleration (gives me a chubby just thinking about it).

Will post a vid in the next couple of days (have recorded it...just need to work out how to load on pc, edit and upload).

Where did you order the Stillen from if you don't mind me asking ? What was cost including freight ?

Ordered direct from Stillen in the states (through there website). All up including freight for exhaust and midpipe was about $3,500 aus dollars but i think Stillen has dropped there price since. Speak to Sean (see his reply above in this post) if you are interested.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By The Bogan · Posted

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
