Exhaust Poll

wheee! · 04-10-2011, 02:25 PM

All three are winners, but for the money, I vote Invidia. It sounds sweet, looks awesome and is the most affordable.

Agency Power makes a great exhaust

You want the Berk. CBE with stock cats it's very very nice and stealth at low rpm. No drone, sweet moan.

With Berk HFCs added it sounds like an exotic Italian car.

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.

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.

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

wheee! · 04-11-2011, 08:20 PM

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.

FromG2Z · 04-11-2011, 10:24 PM

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

I have vids up in my review of the invidia without HFCs.
