Nice review and video! I saw your vid before your post as i just uploaded a horrible video to you tube around the same time you did. I will be uploading some new stuff with my recent purchase of a tripod!

First thing i noticed was NO HISS!! I have been reading post after post and most have explained it to be an inherent problem with our engine. I was convinced that it was not the exhaust set up or HFC's but i think we have a credible reason to believe otherwise. I hope this is further looked into because i do not like my hiss at all, i feel it gives a cheap sound to a not so cheap set up. As i have just installed my HFC and gen 3s to go with my Stillen CBE i to will be creating a post with pics of the install and troubles my mechanic came across. There is a considerable amount of hiss in my setup which my soon to come post will detail.

Thanks again for the great review, you have tempted me to think about a different cat back after only having mine for a week, Cheers!

2009 370z - Stillen CBE, Berk HFC, Gen 3 intakes.

Thanks again for taking the time to do a very detailed review of your HFC, CBE, Intake setup. I really like the way the Invidia Gemini CBE sounds with the HFC's. Damn your car sounds sweet!

I was really having a hard time making a choice between Stillen, Invidia Gemini, and Berks. This review sealed the deal. I'll be purchasing the Invidia Gemini CBE in the next few weeks. I'm hitting the Drag Strip tonight to see how my Z performs with my current setup. Then I will head back to the track once I get the Invidia CBE installed to compare the difference between the stock exhaust. My wife is going to video so I will post the videos along with my time slips.

Your welcome dude...glad you found it valuable!!! And honestly...the video does not do it proper justice...sounds even more sick in real person.

You will no be unhappy with the Gemini... 950$, polished stainless steel, titanium tips, eliminates the Hiss of a HFC....CAN'T GO WRONG!!

Track Update from last nights runs:
The ERZ HFC’s definitely improved my 370z performance check out my trap speeds! Best time for the night was 13.165 2.03 60'ft @ 108.85 mph. The fastest trap speed and time was 13.23 2.18 60'ft @ 109.49mph. Need to work on my launch. But I am only about 1mph away from the best time I have seen on this forum 12.80 @ 110.33mph with Stillen G3, CBE, and HFC. I maybe able to trap 111mph with the Invidia Gemini and I should already be in the high 12’s just need some practice!
