Nissan 370Z Forum  

My ongoing Invidia Gemini exhaust review

How hard was the install on this? If you don't do it yourself...how much to get it installed at a shop?

I actually just finished installing the Berk system. The exhaust part was cake...the HFC is a different story. So much so that I couldn't change out the driver's side...so now I have a Berk HFC on the passenger side and the stock cat on the driver's side lol. I have an appointment with an exhaust shop to get it installed. Just gotta drive it around like this for now.

I know you have done part of it yourself but my shop did the whole thing in less than an hour. It was worth the $50 I paid to save a couple of hours of hassle.

The exhaust gets a little louder and deeper after you get some miles on it. I had a loud exhaust on my last car and wanted something that sounded great but was liveable. This exhaust is perfect for what I wanted. Probably the best aftermarket exhaust (sound, fit, finish, build quality, volume) I've had on any of my vehicles except my motorcycles.

Definitely Titanium. It looked fantastic (and compliment prone) on my PW Z.

Exhaust removal and install for me the other day (I brought it back to stock before trading it in) took me 2-1/2 hours. Easy Peasy. Do it yourself. Plus you get to spend time alone with your car. Nothing can match that. It's therapy for me. My car, my tools, my work light, my tunes, ... priceless.
