Had to cancel my order - get this:
I ordered the Gemini exhaust and Invidia HFC's through Vividracing.com , checked out and paid by credit card.
Three days later, after I had heard nothing from them I sent an email to them about my order status.
Then, I get an email saying something like hi, thanks for ordering with us. We will have to charge an additional $550.00 for freight (to Australia).
Now, I know that shipping costs are high to the other side of the world; however, what's the point of having an interactive ordering system where the user can pick his shipping choice and the $ cost of it in the first place??!?
The total value of the order was $1450 and they had the guts to email me saying there is a balance of $550. Great salesmanship ---- noooot.
Anyway, lesseon learnt with Vividracing.
Unfortunately, no Gemini availability for Australia that would be significantly cheaper so I have chosen to the Exoticspeed RII pwr-si system instead. They manage to ship for $200. Copy or not - it's a good price, I like the sound (not too loud) and it's light too.
It's already shipped, expecting arrival in about 2 weeks (after customs clearance in AUS).
Will open a new thread and post review once it's done.
If anyone wants to sponsor me for a pre and post dyno feel free, haha. I'm in Sydney. There's a lot of people curious about the gains from the RII system.
Cheers.
