Those are my primary concerns too... ricers and cops.... no extra attention needed. I like your comments on SS being more "serious" and "beefy". Also, I heard that sometimes the blue hue varies in degree with each batch :eekdance:

Ordered the Invidia Gemini rolled Ti tips!!!! I get it Friday!!! woot woot!!! Thanks to all for the advice. Something about those burnt tips that are surprisingly cool that made me get it over the SS...

Congrats! You should love it.

You are now obliged to post pics after installation... :tup:

Thank you very much, sirs... Yes, will most definitely post pics and vids up. It's supposed to arrive Friday, so I hope to do it early Saturday or Sunday if it doesn't work out. The key is for the shipment to arrive Friday, as planned.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to me!!!! wooohooo :happydance: Wife said that all I get now for father's day is NOTHING.... lol... I am ok with that trade :)

Exhaust Name: Fast Intentions Non-Resonated TDX
Quality: Great (5 out of 5)
Fitment/Looks: No fitment issues, it gives the non-stock look, it sits at the lowest level of the stock exhaust but just gives a lower look.
Sound: I have not heard of resonated versions, but my non-res has a loud growl up to 3k RPM, and sounds very exotic from there on out esp. 4k to 5k RPM. I am running on stock HFC and stock intake, and with the non-res it sounds aggressive. And the great part is its not annoying aggressive but i-want-my-car-to-sound-like-that aggressive when you hear it.

Note: I have not done Dyno yet, but other owners can attest to the HP gain. And I can definitely tell that the car is more responsive. If there was a downside, the only thing I would complain is that when under 3K RPM and my windows are all closed, I get a wierd vibration in my dash. But, I always have my windows down, thanks to Cali weather. :tup:

Overall, two thumbs up for FI TDX!

I finished my Invidia install! Please see details here, as promised:

nice

My vote goes to Exoticspeed RII Titan PWR, which they now deliver with X-Pipe.
Glorious sound on my ZR & the butt dyno grandly approves ;-)

I think I've narrowed my choices down to Berk or Invidia CBE (stock cats). Anyone know if the Invidia sits lower than the Berk? I have a b*%ch of a driveway and I don't want to scrape. From youtube vids I like the sound on both, deep and exotic, not raspy or too loud. Anyone who has heard both think that is accurate?

F.I. sits lower then stock by couple inches. It's the lowest part of the car and it could give you clearance issues if u lower ur car more than 1in

I don't have a straight on shot at the moment, but here is an angled shot from both sides. The muffler piece is right at stock height, so no scraping. The FI has the individual cans sitting much lower than stock.

Also, I love my Invidia sound... very happy with it.

Don't need to worry about scraping with the invidia. Pretty sure it sits slightly higher than stock.

Gonna go with the Berks. The sound is gorgeous, they don't sit low, and from other threads it seems Invidia has some QC issues lately.

Looks great Red...

:icon14: huh?

Where did you read that? I haven't read or heard of a single quality issue with invidia. If anything, it's Berk that has had quality issues, esp with fitment, which is part of the reason why I didn't get berk.

My invidia set was flawless... both in design, build, and installation/alignment. I'm sure other invidia folks on here like RedZed and djpathfinder can test.

Either way, good luck with your berks if you get em.
