STILLEN is proud to introduce the Competition Series Cat-Back Exhaust for the 2023-2024 Nissan Z. Designed for enthusiasts who demand an aggressive exhaust note, this system eliminates mufflers to deliver the raw sound of the Nissan VR30 twin-turbo V6. Through extensive testing, our engineers developed a high-flow, performance-optimized system that maximizes power, sound, and driving excitement.
Designed for Maximum Sound & Performance
Twin-turbo engines naturally suppress exhaust tone due to turbocharger design. The STILLEN Competition Series Exhaust overcomes this by offering a straight-piped, high-flow setup with an X-pipe design, creating an aggressive, race-inspired tone. This system provides the benefits of a precision-engineered exhaust at a competitive price while maintaining performance gains.
Key Features & Benefits
- Limited Lifetime Warranty – Built to last with premium materials
- 304 Stainless Steel Construction – Corrosion-resistant and durable
- TIG Welded Construction – Precision welds for maximum strength and aesthetics
- CNC Machined & Mandrel Bent Tubing – Ensures smooth airflow and optimal exhaust flow
- Dyno Tested – Proven power gains and improved performance
- Made in America – Manufactured in-house for superior quality control
Exhaust Design & Engineering
After rigorous testing, the optimal design was determined to include:
- Precision TIG-Welded Stainless Steel Flange – Connects seamlessly to dual 2.5-inch tubes
- CNC-Machined X-Pipe – Merges both exhaust banks for an aggressive, refined tone while maintaining unrestricted exhaust flow
- Optimized Exhaust Flow – Offers a cross-sectional area of approximately 4 inches, maximizing performance
- Lightweight, High-Performance Design – Eliminates mufflers for a true race-inspired exhaust note
Unlike traditional true dual exhaust setups, which can sound overly flat and loud on twin-turbo V6 engines, the X-pipe configuration enhances tone and sound depth while keeping exhaust flow unrestricted. Additionally, this design allows the largest possible collector to fit through the Nissan Z’s narrow center tunnel.
