I do and I also just got the Pilot 4s.

Quick question. I am a novice. For the Stillen sway bars, assuming everything else in my suspension is OEM, do I need to get different end links or bushings or is it just plug and play?

Should be plug and play!

Get the z1 Adjustable endlinks. They work perfectly with the Stillen sway bars. I upgraded them just in case I need to adjust them. Also they seem to be more robust and of higher quality than the stock end links.

Thanks for input. From my understanding, I would only need adjustable end links if I wanted to lower the car with coilovers? Otherwise, the OEM ones are fine?

True! I think @Thefunk was just saying that it would be a good add on/ upgrade. The adj ones will work now and if you lower it later. Or you can roll with stock and then add the more stout ones if and when you decide to lower your car.

Thanks. I got the JB4and master cylinder brace install tomorrow most likely and will update.

I am likely going to go with Nismo Street Exhaust. Seems to be best mix of sound and looks that go well with the original intent of the car.

Got both the master cylinder brace and JB4 installed today. Master cylinder took quite long because of where the screws are. Luckily, since I have the automatic, it was a little bit easier. The break pedal is a little firmer without it being uncomfortable.

The JB4 is nice on Map 1. I do want to play with the custom settings (Map 6) and use Map 1 as a base.

Per the company who is helping me with exhaust. "Currently Nismo is investigating if a design change is needed before any more are ordered."

Seems weird. Not sure how to proceed.

Unless you’re dead set on the exhaust having a Nismo stamp on it. I would just go with a Borla, Stillen, or Fast Intentions which will all flow better anyways as they are all duel 2.5” vs the Nismo which is 2.25”. Just my .02 here as exhaust tone is super subjective. Borla actually manufactures the Nismo exhaust in USA for Nissan.

I am not dead set on it. Just there is a lot of information out there. Any thoughts on the Z1 exhaust? It seems similar to Stillen/AWE.

Z1 is fine, some folks like the true dual 2.5, but it’s all personal preference. In order of my preference it’s Stillen Street, AWE. AWE is probably a bit overkill with the 3inch, but they sound really nice.

The Stillen ones interest me. However, when I look at pictures of them the tips are out a lot. I never had an aftermarket exhaust put on before. I wonder how much adjustment in and out can be done? Does not have to be perfectly flush. Any thoughts?

 

[VR30Infection]

The Z1 exhausts (all of them) consist of a Y pipe that is duel 2.5” into a single 3” and then either a single 3” exit or duel 2.5” or in the competition versions are duel 3”
