Rock on Trooper!:rock:

WooHoo Invidia Gemini Exhaust just arrived.... Install pending.

Thanks to Victor @ SpeedElement :tup:

Damn that looks good Darren! :tup:

I should have bought a Nismo. :icon18:

I know right...!!

I'm really not missing my Dodge Charger LOL, it was a great choice getting the Nismo.

HFC & CBE install tomorrow (Thanks to Jon @ AAM Competition)

Varrstoen rims install hopefully next week.

Next plan is tinted tail-lights and painted door handles.

After that maybe lowering springs and powder-coated brakes.

:happydance:

Darren, was talking with Jon at AAM today. He mentioned that you were coming in tomorrow. Good to hear! I know you are looking forward to getting the new exhaust installed. I'll look forward to hearing it the next time you make it to a meet!

OH YEAH BABY... It's gonna be a whole new beast :yum:

Not sure about this weekend end yet since it's a holiday, and if I'm lucky I'll be getting rims installed, but I'm guessing they'll come in next week.

But I'll certainly make the weekend after if we're doing the Columbia, MD meet.
:driving:

I wanna hear that exhaust.

Invidia Exhaust & Berk HFC's installed.. see original post for link to photo album.

Well don't leave us hanging. How does it sound? :icon18:

Un-Frickin-Believable..!! :tup:

I'll have to get my video camera out later, an get something up on YouTube.

But this is going to be turning heads 3 blocks away...!!

Awesome, can't wait to hear it. This may be my next setup :driving:

Any videos yet? haha. I am so close to getting this exhaust, just waiting to hear more clips. Hope you are still liking the setup.

I was planning on getting some video at the weekend, but I'll try talking the girlfriend into doing some video when she gets back from work.

Still loving it though, and Victor @ SpeedElement is a good guy :tup:

Great, looking forward to it! Victor has answered all my questions thus far!

OK Guys, there's a quick video clip of the new exhaust.
It's in the original post of my journal:

Guess I'll post it here also LOL:

Loving the sound. Thanks again!

Thanks Man, hope the clip is loud enough.

I'm working on my laptop right now, the sound quality is pretty bad.
I'll try it out later on my gaming PC.

I blame you for making more order the exhaust :-D. Just ordered, hopefully it sounds good without HFCs for the time being.

Darren, Sounds really good! Nice and throaty. :tup:

Sounds awesome! I'm glad we could help you out. I look forward to seeing the wheels on your car too..when are you swapping everything?

Thanks buddy, the video really doesn't do it justice.
I'm gonna take some more video at the weekend with a drive-by.

Thanks for a great deal Victor, and hopefully I plan on getting the wheels on the day after they arrive.
Depending on delivery I expect Tuesday or Wednesday, as Monday is a holiday.

I'll be posting more pics for sure :tup:

Darren, I just checked the tracking on the wheels and no update or estimated delivery date as of yet. I'm hoping by Tuesday as well. :tup:

Exhaust sounds gnarly, congrats!!
