I love my Gemini. FI and berk both sound good as well.

UPDATE: ok guys, I think I am narrowing down to Invidia! I've been doing some price searches, and I think I am closing in on a very good deal.

I had a question though, most folks who have this installed also have an HFC upgrade or an intake upgrade to go along with it. I don't plan to do either the HFC or intake upgrade... in other words, just the Gemini CBE. How does this sound on its own??? Is it still the nice low burble that I am looking for? No rasp or wheezing sound after stepping off the gas? (I have heard this wheezing sound on several you tube vids... when the person steps off the gas.... weird.). Does any one have just vids of the gemini installed with no other mods??? That's what I am looking for.

I have heard it on a friends car before the intakes were done and he does not have HFC's. It still sounded great! I love my HKS, but the invidia sounds great too.

The 'wheezing' you speak of is a deceleration hiss that any exhaust with a X-Pipe will have.

The intake will not affect the sound of the exhaust. The exhaust alone sounds deeper than the stock exhaust for sure. Gives it a healthy powerful sound. There was no deceleration "wheeze" either. Adding a HFC will enrich the deep throaty growl. Regarding that deceleration wheeze, i don't notice it inside the car and it's only faintly noticeable outside.

This video is the best review/comparo of the Invidia Gemini that I've found. He also uses a Db meter to measure the volume between the different set ups.

thanks for all the input guys. Sounds like those of you with the invidia cbe seem to be pretty happy with it. I also like what I hear from the vids. I might be purchasing this exhaust tomorrow!!!

Red__Zed 04-11-2011 10:26 PM

Just mounted the Invidia Gemini a couple of weeks ago. A nice deep throaty sound with stock cats. Not too loud, just right. Bought,shipped, and professionally installed for less than 900 bucks. You cannot beat that for value.

Yup, I watched this video so many times before buying. It certainly helped me seal the deal.

Guys thanks so much for all your input... I think I will be going with the Invidia Gemini rolled tips... all I am worried about now is the SS or the titanium blue hue?!?!?!?! What do you guys think? My concern with the blue hue is that it looks ricey? But I think it's very cool... am worried about what other folks will think once they see it on my car....

thoughts?

First of all, it's your car. Do what YOU want and what YOU think looks good. Nevermind what others think of your car. Having said that, I'm not a fan of the burnt titanium look, so I went with the SS. The color of your car (white) will go with either option, whereas the Ti with 40th quartz doesn't look right to me.

I got the rolled SS tips and am very happy with that choice. The Ti tips are a bit too flashy for me. I feel like the rolled SS still looks beefy, but a bit more serious. I'm not really interested in picking up attention from ricers or the police because of bright blue exhaust tips.
