Hi guys,

I just got my Stillen exhaust installed on my G a few days ago and loving it since. However, as I was getting a car wash, I noticed that the "stillen" letters on the exhaust tips came off, leaving only the letter "s" and "n". Is it normal?? Or is it a defect??

Thank you for the help guys!

Was this a new exhaust purchased from us, or something you picked up from another member?

I'll go check mine to see if any letters have come off.

The letters are applied by laser, but not etched, so they can be polished off.

Newer exhausts such as the 370Z, Cube and now the Juke are etched into the stainless, and eventually the G37 will too.

Some are very happy they can polish them off, others want the brand name, we get hit with both requests.

And to save the questions, these exhausts are built to exacting tolerances in both cutting and welding jigs, to ensure they are exact duplicates of the original prototype. For that reason, it's not possible for us to replace tips without replacing a large section of the exhaust.

Thanks for the input guys! I forgot to add that mine is a G coupe if it makes a difference. So, the letter do comes off huh, whew, I thought I was getting a defect.

Nope, no letters at all. Totally missing. Laser etched would definitely would be the better way to go.

Why after spending ur hard earned money on something that u decided to put on ur car would u not want to show off the name brand of the product. That doesnt make sense to me. WACK on stillens part!!!

Why supercharge a car and leave everything else stock? Peoples build strategies vary..

And as mentioned, we've switched laser engravers to etch the logos into the stainless.

It does take a good amount of polishing to remove the previous style, but it is possible.. We've had customers who've had our exhaust on for 7 years and not have the label removed, and still perfect looking, others remove it quickly.. depends on how hard it's polished.

Can we try and keep this thread on topic fella's?

You can always exchange PM's for side discussions

Stillen's parts are some of the best quality parts on the market. Anyone on here should know that there are many different directions that people point their cars towards and some want the logos on, some want them. off. Different strokes, different folks.
