I've read that thread before... that's the only one I've seen with someone having issues like that. What "other like it" have you seen?

Aside from that, the OP of that particular thread updated it with the resolution of the first issue, by the x-pipe. He didn't install the OEM cat bracket after putting test pipes on. Since re-installation, no issues. Now as far as the exhaust hanger bracket crack, it looks like that is indeed an issue. So far, only he has had the issue. Folks in that thread and elsewhere on this forum have had thousands of miles on their Gemini's with no issue. I personally am very satisfied with mine.

Like I said, Berk is a great exhaust too, but has issues of its own too. Just do a search for Berk exhaust, and I remember reading one where the exhaust was way misaligned by over an inch or so.

So just make sure you do your research and decide accordingly. Each has its pros and cons.

Personally, I dont think anything can touch the look, sound, and gains of FI.

I love FI too... I thought the look was a little too flashy for me however, couple that with the very low hanging muffler which I would worry about scraping ALL the time, plus the cost.... hence why I went Invidia.

Ark dts all the way bro. 99% of the forum have FI because its the popular kid choice, but ive heard them side by side and they are both fantastic but the ark wins. Its not ******* loud, doesnt drone like the fi at 70mph and has a deeper tone. Neither rasp unless u use hfc or downpipes, then they both do. And the ark makes a much cooler decel sound imo. Much like the jag f type just not as loud. Also the ark is tucked up HIGHER than stock, and looks very stealth. So if your not the show boat type "1%" its perfect.

Tazrek · 10-16-2013, 07:45 AM

What do you guys think of the Meisterchaft full cat back exhaust?

chii370 · 10-16-2013, 08:39 AM

If u like SUPER loud and and agressive it fits ur bill. But it does have a distinct sound, some people like it some dont. I think it sounds really "fartcan" attached to a megaphone.

That percentage is grossly incorrect, as 99% of the forum will be in excess of 124,000 people, and FI to date has shipped under 1000 units.

Also, it's popular because it's the best exhaust offered for this car.

I'm not sure what your issue is with F.I. but this 99% chose them after listening to many sound clips, looking at the build quality, and experiencing first hand the exceptional customer service they give.

The only knock I would put on FI is the wait, but that's really a function of demand.

While I agree FI is ONE OF the best exhaust on our car, people can have their own opinions and choices. Chii370 just state he likes Ark better in his opinion. And OP went with Invidia. I love my HKS. Nothing is wrong with that. There ARE many nice systems out there to choose.
