Default Anyone have an Invidia Gemini Exhaust?

I have heard of the Invidia name from a few fellow Z owners, but don't know much about it. Is this a truly quality product? Will it hold up over time? I have listened to a few sound clips on youtube, and it sounds much more aggressive than the Nismo exhaust, imo. Any other details would be much appreciated. I would just like to know more about this brand, before I make any final decisions. Thanks

Have had mine on my Zee now for almost two years - I got it when they first came out. It replaced a HKS knockoff and I couldn't be happier. Plus I got a good deal on it from one of the vendors on this site. Also easy to install yourself if you choose to. I would buy it again if thats worth anything........

TopSpeedAutoSport is the vendor that sells it for $789 shipped. This will be my next exhaust. Not only is the Y-pipe resonated, but you also get an X-pipe. Perfect and rare combo to eliminate rasp, especially for those running High-flow cats or test pipes.

Another Invidia Gemini-equipped Z here.

All I can say is it's an amazing product. Perfect fitment, welds look top quality. Quiet at idle rpm, but it really screams when you stomp on the gas.

I got headers, resonated test pipes and this exhaust. Zero drone, zero rasp. Best bang for the buck true-duals out there.

I say do it.

Thanks guys! I know hp gains won't be much, I guess what I'm looking for is throttle response. Any better?

you will think it is, because you will keep it in the higher rpm's to hear the growl more.. but also by doing so your gas mileage will go down some

That's kind of a let down, really wanted a better throttle response out of the exhaust, any recommendations that's aren't too far away in price?

but here is the question, do you think you will ever change out the exhaust to get the MD? if so save the money and get it initially.....
