Borla Catback vs Invida Gemini catback

Looking to get a new catback for my Nismo and was wondering which one has the best sound/tone(prefer deeper) and provides the most horsepower/torque gain. Loudness is not a factor

Default Borla Catback vs Invida Gemini catback

Looking to get a new catback for my Nismo and was wondering which one has the best sound/tone(prefer deeper) and provides the most horsepower/torque gain. Loudness is not a factor which is why I picked two of the quieter exhausts.

Also can the Borla fit on my 2011 Nismo(2015 bumper)? I’ve seen videos(https://youtu.be/JpqTPP9az70) on YouTube of them on older Nismo even though it says it doesn’t fit.

I would go with the Invidia Gemini, hands down. Having installed one recently on my buddy’s Z, I can confirm that fit and finish is absolutely spot on. The sound is amazing for an exhaust of this price. It will fit fine on a Nismo. The exhaust tips are adjustable so they can be brought out a bit to fit the Nismo bumper. But since you have a pre ‘15 Nismo, you will have no issues.

Cause the 12-16 week wait time is daunting and I know I can buy used but I haven’t found any good deals yet.

I'm assuming you meant to say:

Invidia sounds real good on my Z and no problems with fitment.
