Invidia Gimini

The BlueMax · 03-28-2010, 12:01 AM

Here are some pictures of my Invidia, shipped out of Chicago for 809 to my door, I keep wondering what the angled tips would look like considering the tail lights. It sounds decent without the HFCs, the diagram illustrates the design where Invidia utilizes the resonators before the Xpipe, value dominates the decision on this purchase.

Looks Nice bluemax! Will you post a sound clip?

I have my tips pushed back a little..... The burnt tips look great with the blue Z!

Now go buy some HFC's, they sound great with the Gemini ( Invidia Gemini CBE & ERZ HFC Review (with db comparison) )

From my experience thus far, there is no good excuse for NOT having HFCs with almost any of these exhausts. They just make the exhausts sound more awesome.

Bluemax, looks great on your Z. Will be putting on a Gemini soon too (currently on back order).

So do HFCs make sound (obnoxiously) louder or just change the sound? Or is it headers that make the exhaust significantly louder?

I'll wait to hear another Z in person, can't decide on decibel levels with Youtube vids.

Awesome price! Sounds like you are a little dissapointed on the exhaust though?

Good set of videos. Really like the way it sounds. Mine is about 3 weeks away from arriving...can't wait.

Yeah I love it !

Yea, thanks for the feedback, it must be true that HFCs are worth the money, I just decided to hold back for now, I know its going to cost a little more later. I ordered this system on Monday and it was delivered by Thursday, when UPS has its main headquarters in your town nothing takes that long. I have a peaky drone starting around 2600RPM to 2900RPM. If I can find any other slash cut tips I may jump right on it.
370Z JT is right, but its not just a dissappointment, I just wasn't overwelmed. I met some friends Friday night 09 Lexus ISF, 08 lexus 350, 04 Z06 Vette with about 1500 miles I finally thrashed the car out on the interstate. ISF had a car length and a half on me, I touted the 350, but not by that much, and the Vette ran away from all of us. I wish I had a detuned GTR power plant or the Titain's 5.6 liter V8.

You think the rolled tips sound different than the single layer TI tips they offer or just purely for aesthetics?

I like this exhaust the more I see it.
