Invidia Gemini - Noise on downshifts
So yesterday I made the switch to an Invidia Gemini CBE. If I downshift and don't match the revs exactly (NO SRM), I get a brief but loud sound, could be a rattle but almost sounds like grinding.
If I match the revs, I get nothing and its smooth. Anybody else have this issue with the Invidia and know whats causing it? |

maybe the exhaust is shaking a little as you downshift, thus you are hitting the crossmember as the exhaust vibrates/moves....
just an idea.

I think Econ may be right...makes sense. I just got it installed last Friday so I am hoping that the system just needs some time to settle completely. Just going to continue to monitor over the next couple weeks and see how it goes...

go under the car and look how much room u guys have between the midpipes/y/x pipe and the cross member.
should have at least a 1/2" - 3/4"

I had a rattling vibrating noise too on downshifts. Took it to amplified and they fixed it. Make sure there is clearance with the pipes.
