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.

      Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?

      It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time

      It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.

      Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in.

      I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
