Exhaust Poll

Ridgerunner · 04-12-2011, 12:20 AM

Just mounted the Invidia Gemini a couple of weeks ago. A nice deep throaty sound with stock cats. Not too loud, just right. Bought,shipped, and professionally installed for less than 900 bucks. You cannot beat that for value.

Guys thanks so much for all your input... I think I will be going with the Invidia Gemini rolled tips... all I am worried about now is the SS or the titanium blue hue?!?!?!?! What do you guys think? My concern with the blue hue is that it looks ricey? But I think it's very cool... am worried about what other folks will think once they see it on my car....

thoughts?

First of all, it's your car. Do what YOU want and what YOU think looks good. Nevermind what others think of your car. Having said that, I'm not a fan of the burnt titanium look, so I went with the SS. The color of your car (white) will go with either option, whereas the Ti with 40th quartz doesn't look right to me.

I got the rolled SS tips and am very happy with that choice. The Ti tips are a bit too flashy for me. I feel like the rolled SS still looks beefy, but a bit more serious. I'm not really interested in picking up attention from ricers or the police because of bright blue exhaust tips.

Those are my primary concerns too... ricers and cops.... no extra attention needed. I like your comments on SS being more "serious" and "beefy". Also, I heard that sometimes the blue hue varies in degree with each batch

Exhaust Name: Fast Intentions Non-Resonated TDX
Quality: Great (5 out of 5)
Fitment/Looks: No fitment issues, it gives the non-stock look, it sits at the lowest level of the stock exhaust but just gives a lower look.
Sound: I have not heard of resonated versions, but my non-res has a loud growl up to 3k RPM, and sounds very exotic from there on out esp. 4k to 5k RPM. I am running on stock HFC and stock intake, and with the non-res it sounds aggressive. And the great part is its not annoying aggressive but i-want-my-car-to-sound-like-that aggressive when you hear it.

Note: I have not done Dyno yet, but other owners can attest to the HP gain. And I can definitely tell that the car is more responsive. If there was a downside, the only thing I would complain is that when under 3K RPM and my windows are all closed, I get a wierd vibration in my dash. But, I always have my windows down, thanks to Cali weather.

Overall, two thumbs up for FI TDX!

F.I. sits lower then stock by couple inches. It's the lowest part of the car and it could give you clearance issues if u lower ur car more than 1in

My vote goes to Exoticspeed RII Titan PWR, which they now deliver with X-Pipe.
Glorious sound on my ZR & the butt dyno grandly approves ;-)
