Invidia on the other had has proven to have less gains because of extra restriction.

I'd be stunned to find evidence of "more restriction" in the gemini, so please back up you claim with fact. The exhausts follow identical bends and use the same muffler in their current iterations, ever since berk made the most recent change to their exhaust.

Most dynos show ~6-7 PP gains for FI, berk shows 3-5, as does invidia.

The Greddy Turbo Ti-C will have no drone with the silencers in. It's a lot louder with them out and some drone right around 2800-3200 RPMs. 2.75" diameter pipes.

And gains about ~10whp/8tq with silencers with no turbo
It gains about ~7whp/4tq without silencers with no turbo

Pics of the fitment and quality here:

I'm real happy with mine. Sounds great inside and outside of the car. Looks good without being too big/showy. Fit perfect with no issues at all.

Dude they are all pretty close. Just get the Berk... you will be happy with the quality and the sound. The extra power is just a plus. The sound is what you'll love about it.

PP numbers are more telling. 10whp over a 200whp baseline is 5PP, over a 300whp baseline it is 3.33...pp. basically takes the inflationary nature of dyno out, which does a lot to level the numbers.

I think he mentioned PP not WHP.
EDIT: he explained it

It's a percentage point gain.

It would be awesome if GT5 was that detailed

ImportConvert · 02-22-2012, 10:56 AM

I want a bigger pp, but I understand what you mean, lol.

Berk it is, now just waiting on the actual car to be available.

I'm pretty sure it is. Haven't played in a while, but they do use HP gain and PP gain for mods. I'm not sure if this is "percentage points" or "performance points"

Also, each race has hp or PP restrictions. (note: this form of pp, is definitely performance points which is hp related to weight, less weight is higher pp)
