In early 2018, STILLEN President and CEO Kyle Millen purchased a new Toyota Tundra. With every new vehicle purchase Kyle sets a goal for the vehicle. This one was simple, a family hauler that would allow his family to go off roading, camping and have fun. Occasionally it would be used for towing project/race vehicles or parts but it was never intended to be a test bed for product development.
Right…
Well that obviously didn’t last long.
While installing a set of aftermarket headlight bulbs and a color matched grill assembly Kyle noticed that there was a large amount of room between the radiator shroud, core support and air box. After a little bit of tinkering and conceptualizing Kyle came back to the office Monday morning and showed the product development team what he’d found.
This is when the team began creating prototype parts to test. Following with our series of videos showing the testing of the best air intake for the Toyota Tundra 5.7 liter.

The New STILLEN Performance and Styling products for the 2019+ Nissan Maxima are here.
It was only natural that STILLEN will introduced a new line of power, performance and styling products for the 2019 Nissan Maxima. Our design goal was straightforward: offer enhanced performance and add a hint of aggression to the race-inspired styling, controls and luxurious appointments of the newly updated Maxima.
We finished off the 2019 Nissan Maxima Axle Back Exhaust with a polished 2 3/8-inch striaght cut exhaust tip. It fills the factory exhaust cut out nicely; delivering an aggressive look that matches the enhanced exhaust note. At the same time, it imparts a higher quality feel worthy of the restyled Maxima.
We felt the only way to do justice to the fresh styling was to enhance it with a suitably aggressive Front Splitter. We took the natural lines of the front bumper into account and designed our Front Splitter.
STILLEN front lips and splitters are made from durable and resilient polyurethane. They provide an easy way to dramatically improve the appearance of your vehicle. The 2019 Nissan Maxima front lip/splitter comes painted matte black and ready to install. However, it can still be prepped and painted the color of your choice. The part comes with proper 3M automotive trim foam tape pre-installed onto the splitter, as well as adhesion promoter to make your installation quick and easy. We also include screws to fully secure the splitter to the front bumper.
The STILLEN Rear Diffuser for the 2019 Nissan Maxima dramatically improves visual appearance of rear bumper giving it a race-inspired design features. The Rear Diffusers aggressive fins and deep air channels help create grip and reduce aerodynamic drag. It also gives it a look of a wider rear bumper adding a sexy and sporty look.
The STILLEN Rear Diffuser compliments the factory exhaust cut out nicely. The aggressive styling of the Rear Diffuser and Front Splitter help set your Nissan Maxima apart from the crowd. This Rear Diffuser is made of durable polyurethane, and installs without cutting, trimming or altering the Maxima in any way.
The STILLEN Hi-Flow Air Intake Kit for the 2019 Nissan Maxima helps to increase engine performance. The Hi-Flow Intake features the most optimal horsepower and torque gains for the Nissan Maxima. This A36 Maxima intake provides a better air flow to the engine with the smooth surface tubing construction.
The STILLEN Hi-Flow Air Intake retains the factory intake tract which leads into the STILLEN polyurethane air duct, ensuring the coldest possible air reaches the engine. A sleek, polished aluminum intake tube adds to the look and durability of the unit. A genuine High Flow Air Filter ensures your 2019 Nissan Maxima breathes cleanly and freely.
The STILLEN Rear Sway Bar for the Nissan Maxima helps control the weight shift that occurs during cornering, taking familiar corners at higher speed. Planted is the result of better weight distribution, traction, more control from the STILLEN Sway Bar. OEM Sway Bars are often too small for optimum performance.
The STILLEN Sway Bar helps control the rolling effect by twisting along its axis as the chassis and suspension moves. STILLEN Sway Bars are made from high strength aircraft grade steel for maximum torsional strength and durability.

STILLEN® Chicane Series one-piece sport rotors offer improved performance, durability and style when staying with original equipment (OE) factory calipers. Chicane Series’ unique S slot design improves initial pad bite, where a brake pad is able to grab the rotor faster and harder when it’s time to stop NOW! Tests have shown (and drivers can feel) the immediate improvement in a vehicle’s braking behavior. The S-slots also provide better cooling under hard and frequent use. These performance rotor upgrades directly replace your factory rotors with no modifications required.
The Chicane Series S-Slot rotor line comes finished with tough, clear zinc plating for exceptional corrosion resistance while avoiding pad contamination and environmental issues often associated with cadmium plating.
Direct OEM Replacement Sizes Requiring No Modifications
Increased Braking Capability for Performance and Safety
Improved Initial Bite
Lighter Weight
Runs Cooler
Allows for Outgassing of Brake Pads
Reduces or Eliminates Pad Hydroplaning in Wet Conditions
Zinc Plated for Corrosion Resistance
Limited Warranty Against Cracking or Warping
Pad wear may be accelerated slightly (depending on driving technique), so we recommend the use of high quality brake pads. One piece rotors are NOT recommended for serious track duty.
WHAT MAKES STILLEN SPORT ROTORS DIFFERENT?
STILLEN sources high-quality, 1-piece blanks from the world’s best foundries. Whether patterning Chicane Series S slots, cross-drilled, slotted or cross-drilled and slotted, each application is carefully scrutinized for the optimum face pattern. The latest CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools are used to develop the face pattern for full pad sweep in order to reduce hot spots and grooving. STILLEN Sport Rotors for most car applications are zinc plated for corrosion resistance, which keeps them looking car show-ready and rust-free in most environments.

The STILLEN® Cat-Back Exhaust System for the VR30DDTT Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 3.0t has an aggressive tone under hard acceleration, but mellow during cruising, with that unmistakable STILLEN sound. STILLEN engineers unlocked a 26WHP and 29WTQ Gain. Those numbers are nothing to sneeze at, and you’d be hard pressed not to notice an additional 29lb/ft of torque.
STILLEN went through extensive design, engineering and testing to ensure the STILLEN Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 Cat-Back Exhaust Systems would be the best available for our customers. Designed to fit beautifully into the OEM valance or as a compliment to a STILLEN® Rear Diffuser, this system looks as good as it sounds. Available with three tip options to suit your tastes – choose from Carbon Fiber, Polished or Burnt-Titanium Look Tips to give your Q’s rear end that ‘extra something’ it needed.
Years of racing and product development have taught STILLEN that relying on computer software simulations or using comparable product data is not enough to produce the best possible product for our customers. There is no substitute for physical validation especially when it comes to the Nissan’s VR30 Engine. Numerous Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 Cat-Back Systems were tested through dyno pulls and extensive data logging. STILLEN’s rigorous procedures even included testing different merge angles between pipes. The result of STILLEN’s rigorous program found a “Y-Pipe” layout similar to what is found on the Nissan GTR VR38 Engine produced the best result.
The STILLEN Cat-Back Exhaust System consist of a Y-Pipe, Mid- Pipe, and Dual Mufflers w/ Interchangeable Tips. The 2.5″ diameter Y-Pipe configuration allows for better airflow. The Y-Pipe than connects to the Mid-Pipe. The 3″ diameter Mid-Pipe than carries the exhaust gases to the rear of the vehicle where it branches back into 2.5″ diameter dual rear exit. Upon meeting the rear exhaust pipes the exhaust gases flow through the STILLEN engineered and manufactured mufflers. The 4.5″ diameter bolt-on exhaust tips enable you to adjust the tip position for a proper fit no matter what bumper or aero you choose to run at the back. Finally, the exhaust note is mild and well-mannered under normal driving conditions, but quickly turns aggressive and authoritative when under throttle. The overall size of the STILLEN Cat Back Exhaust System will differ to the Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 respectively.
STILLEN’s use of mandrel bent 304 Stainless Steel backed by a limited lifetime warranty ensures your cat-back exhaust will last. The VR30DDTT Infiniti Q50 and Infiniti Q60 Cat Back Exhaust is proudly engineered and manufactured in the USA at its facilities in Costa Mesa, California.

For very hot running engine, an oil cooler kit is a must have. Too much heat is an enemy of any combustion engine. Having your oil temperature up to 30 degrees cooler during normal driving will add many 1000’s of miles to the life of your engine and improve performance.
Oil is rerouted to the oil cooler outside of the engine and is cooled prior to circulating back into the engine. The oil cooler kit is not too dissimilar from a car’s radiator. You will have to use up to two quarts more oil to fill up the coils and lines in the oil cooler unit. The end result is a healthier engine that will last much longer than an engine without an oil cooling unit.
If you’re interested in keeping your car cool with a STILLEN® Oil Cooler Kit, call us at 866-250-5542 to speak with our experienced performance Specialists, or chat live with the team at www.stillen.com – thanks for joining us! Catch you next time.
