New imvidia plus test pipes = no rasp!

Mike · 10-01-2009, 07:51 PM

Just installed today. I have berk test pipes and with stock exhaust there was some rasp. Nothing terrible, but it was there. Put the new Invidia gemini from Lou at Amplified on and it totally eliminated all rasp!

Will have some idle and the. Interior videos up in my journal later tonite

I‘ve been leaning towards the Berks HFC, have you thrown any CEL lights with the Test Pipes? I live in San Antonio, Texas no need for cats here the sniffer test is not part of our inspection. Plus the Test Pipes are cheaper and should produce more power.

I did check out your exhaust in your Journal, it does sound really good with Test pipes which is not an easy task with the 370z. I have heard a lot of exhaust with HFC or Test pipes that just sound way too raspy, or just bad. One thing I can not live with is drone and your new exhaust doesn’t do that either for what I’ve heard in the vids.

Did you feel little increase in power with the Cat back over the stock exhaust?

No cel until I took it to the track. After 2 sessions at road Atlanta cel came on. Waiting for reset tool I bought from Fontana Nissan to see if it will stay out on the street

Thanks for the update. I will probably purchase the Berks HFC. I did some more research on the Invidia Gemini Exhaust you installed, OMG that thing is nice. I just can't believe how polished and high quality the exhaust is for less then $1,000.00.

I have a Black 370z as well, how do you like the burnt TI tips? That is the only thing I am on the fence about, but it probably looks pretty good on black.

^They look quite good together.

I powdercoated my tips and muffler satin black. This car is going to be my no-bling car.
