Invidia Gemini w/ Titanium tips possible FS
 
Installed the Invidia Gemini exhaust last thursday (april 22nd), and have put about 150 miles on it since then. Car sounds great, fitment is great, and I could feel a little more power, but it's just a little too loud for my taste with the HFC's.

I'm going to give it until this weekend to "burn-in" the mufflers to see if it quiets down enough for my liking, but most likely I'll be putting stock back on for now and on the hunt for a queiter exhaust.

It'd be $800 installed (I'll do the install in my garage for you) if I decide to sell.

Still not quiet enough with the sound deadening? Did the wife frown when she road in your car?

Caravanshaka 04-26-2010 08:15 AM

she said it was loud, ya...but it's more that I drive 65 miles a day, and it's just too loud for me to enjoy. I think if I got exhaust it'd have to be nismo. I don't want to hear it unless I'm at WOT. The invidia sounds fantastic at WOT though :drool:

2theextreme 04-26-2010 08:24 AM

< lemme know! I might just take that off your hands....and you won't even have to do the install! Unless you wanna come to Virginia! :p

Caravanshaka 04-26-2010 08:28 AM

lol, I'll be in Michigan on the 15th, but I doubt they'd want me carrying that on the plane :rofl2:

phelan 04-26-2010 08:30 AM

get amuse, you don't hear much of it until WOT ;)

Doubtful....they'd think it was a bomb and arrest ya. But you can just call me with your one phone call and I'll try to explain to security it's only an exhaust for a 370Z. ;)

I'll have to take a ride in your car and see how it sounds, then try and figure out how it will sound with HFC's. but we might be able to work something out :icon08:

vipor 04-26-2010 08:55 AM

Yeah not sure how it'd sound with HFCs, but I'm sure someone's done it.

I'm not even looking for an exhaust really, but I know I can go louder, and you've got a reason (or a couple) not to.

I'll pay $801.99 if you don't trade! And I'll pay shipping costs to Virginia! :stirthepot:

I think the nismo with HFC's should be about the right loudness for me. Loud enough to sound like it has power, but quiet enough to daily drive and start the car in my garage with my infant sleeping right next to it, lol.

you have to consider that you'll have longtubes soon too!

I heard HKS is a quiet exhaust. Check into that.

Caravanshaka 04-26-2010 09:00 AM

legamax or high power? the legamax is only axle-back

nogoodname 04-26-2010 09:01 AM

high-power

Oh I know. And I definitely want to hear/dyno it with that setup. Someone's gotta do it!

Caravanshaka 04-26-2010 09:09 AM

with which setup? nismo + LTH's?

nogoodname 04-26-2010 09:10 AM

nismo + LTH is gonna sound nasty.....lol

Caravanshaka 04-26-2010 09:11 AM

also been thinking of just pulling the HFC's and keeping the exhaust....

theDreamer 04-26-2010 09:14 AM

Sucks to hear about the exhaust, tough call on if HFC+stock or stock cats+Invidia.

2theextreme 04-26-2010 09:15 AM

Think I'll stick with my new idea......F.I. exhaust & LTH's

ya, it sounds good, just too loud for me. I've done the loud exhaust before and it gets annoying to me after a while.

theDreamer 04-26-2010 09:16 AM

You are buying LTHs now Tony?

You could build custom tips to make it work, that is all Zele did.

Caravanshaka 04-26-2010 09:23 AM

did this turn into the OG thread? :rofl2:

nogoodname 04-26-2010 09:23 AM

Who makes the Zele exhaust anyways?

vipor 04-26-2010 09:24 AM

Yes Caravan, the LTH + Nismo (Non-S) CBE is what I want to hear. I bet it's rough
