Default Looking to buy invidia Gemini CBE

Hello everybody, I have done a bunch or research looking into weather or not I would have rasp when pairing berk test pipes with the invidia Gemini exhaust. Currently I have berk test pipes installed with a DC Sports cat back exhaust, which has no resonators, and it has awful rasp around 3k rpm. I have viewed plenty of YouTube videos and from what I can tell, the Gemini with test pipes sounds pretty good, but I would like to hear some more opinions. So if anybody with test pipes, preferably Berk, and the invidia Gemini exhaust could chime in on their experience, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Cal

I appreciate the video you posted, that combo sounds great! Only thing is, I just purchased the test pipes and am still considering the Gemini. I'm not really looking to buy another set of test pipes on top of the invidia cat back.

the art pipes just made it a little deeper, i think you will be fine with test pipes. you could always run that setup for a while, and then if you wanted to change them out. i just text a mod buddy of mine, cant remember if he has test pipes on his with the same exhaust

Thanks for the help! I'm just being cautious. I didn't want to drop the money on the invidia, and still have the nasty rasp I have now.

Thanks again for all the help! My berks are non resonated, but I think I will give the gemini a try. If there is still to much rasp, I can swith out the tp's with something resonated.

I ordered my gemini from eBay, and it didn't come with any hardware. What kind of clamps hold the tips on?

I went ahead and ordered the gemini and paired it with the already installed berk non-resonated test pipes. I'm really happy with the decision! It's the perfect volume, and not one bit of rasp at all 👍
Also, the tips are held on with a heavy duty clamp. You should be able to see what they look like if you search Google images for invidia gemini.
