im in the market to buy an invidia n1 exaust im just wondering will i have to buy a y pipe ? or can the exhaust just be bolted ight on and any1 knoe true power gains? thanks

 

No. Little.

 

Depends on what year, color, and size of front tires you have. Invidia uses a specialized ECU system that takes all of these into consideration and gives performance results based on the mechanical personality of your car. Each exhaust system they sell if completely different from any other.

 

OK , I get the whole USING THE SEARCH thing and all, and since pretty well everything has been covered , I guess we are not allowed to post any new threads anymore. AM I GETTING THIS RIGHT????

 

I'm not sure why hzh is saying wierd things. The guy asked a question, and it was answered. No you don't need a Y pipe, you already have one. Power gains will be little, you're buying a noisemaker.

 

which exhaust is one of the better ones? i heard good things about stillen, greddy, and injen there all around $1000 + a buddy is trying to talk me into a replica hks off ebay $400 thats true duel any1 knoe anything about thoes?

 

400 will get you knock-off quality, look like a knock-off, and a shot in the dark for fitment. Buy quality parts so they'll last in the long run

 

Ebay replicas are...ebay replicas Sure you save a few benjamins up top, but you'll ;ole;y get fitment issues, poor quality welds, and droning. They usually have an obnoxious sound tone and minimal, if any, performance gains. Most of the cheap ebay knockoffs are lighter weight than stock, though.

On the bright side, $400 is pretty cheap for a Z exhaust, and if you don't like it, you could always sell it on craigslist and recover most of your money. Most "expensive" exhausts get discounted heavily when they sell used, and there's always some penny pincher out there that will buy a used ebay replica for $350 rather than spring $1400 for a used, legit HKS.

I'm partial to the Fast Intentions true dual catbacks, but they run about $1300. I've seen the new-ish Invidia Gemini true dual catbacks, and was impressed with the build quality for the $800 they ask for, new.

 

im talking to a guy that crashed his g35 and he had a hks true duel and hes letting it go for 1300$ good deal? he wanted 1800 to start...he says its almost like new....

 

For $1300 you can get an ARK exhaust brand new.

Look just sit back and do a little digging until you find the exhaust you want. Asking people won't help because what some like you might not. For example I know a lot of people swear by the single exhaust, but to me the Z looks terrible with singles.

 

now that's what I call dark intelligence

 

so i ended up going with the invidia n1 for 700 no point in tryna make power unless i go FI now im stuck on buying a good y pipe any ideas? i have a 03 performance edition

 

Sorry about my comment, I didn't realize that this was a true and honest answer. Me bad.

 

XYZ pipe should be the only choice.

 

 

I made an update video after the car got used to the exhaust, two months after i installed it
