Just installed the Gen3 w/
my invidia Gemini cbe. Ti rolled looks sweet on pearl white. I saw 11 hp at the wheel with the cbe, haven't dynoed against the cai yet. The sound of the Gemini will change significantly with the cai addition. IMO you lose some richness/tone but it still sounds great on throttle. Deeper and more aggressive. Both boltons are great value for performance. And Gen3 was my first hands on mod - as many have said, not difficult at all, but time- consuming. Bumper removal isn't bad at all.

Yea, nogoodname's system sounds just like mine, I didn't know if he had HFC though? The single wall looks equally good, I just couldn't be picky with the tip choice, with price I got, I just ordered. The availability of this system and price point make it attractive, the blue tips will look really good on some body colors. Room42 we need a few pictures.

It's the same catback as yours, it's not mine though. I remember seeing the vid like last year. The tips on this catback can be changed easily. They have rolled and single wall in burnt Ti or just polished.

Would you say the single wall tips are cut slightly more at an angle?

Good to see another Gemini owner When I ordered they only had ti burnt rolled or single - no straight polished ss at that time. I like the burnt rolled fine, though. good luck with the additional mods. Do you plan to tune? I'm considering...

I'm still looking at intake air filter set-ups, haven't decided, I need to ask about the Cobb tuned by AA, what is it, what does it cost, and how much gain is achieved. Bluestyle55 talked about how it smoothed out his power band

There are a few threads about Cobb gains...I thought I read in one of them Bluestyle saw approx 30HP and 26 lb-ft gains after tuning with Cobb AP through the profile done up by AAM...something like that (don't quote me on the numbers...but impressive nonetheless).

You are correct dude. Approx 30whp/30lb mid range gain and 14whp top end. The tune was the best money I have ever spent! I love my setup. Sounds sick and is hella fast.

I found it on Ebay motors looking up exhaust systems for the 370Z, at first I thought it was an everyday thing, there were two available, I bought one. I went back a week later and there was nothing to be had, I guess I got lucky 510 off retail.
