Default Invidia Gimini exhaust

Hi everyone,

I've been running Invidia Gimini exhaust for awhile now and love it. However, I want a little bit louder, so thinking to add test pipes but afraid the drone/rasp.

Does anybody have the same setup? Please advise.

Thanks.

I've been curious too. I have the Gemini and was thinking about the ART pipes. I would like it to be a little more aggressive sounding

IMO - Rasp is subjective from person to person... it's better to hear it live but youtube clip are better than nothing.

GL homie.

here is when i dynod with them (clutch was slipping hence the low hp) so you can hear WOT, and also of one with low revs before putting on TDX2 exhaust. like sotgey said, better in person but better than nothing. i had no complaints with the Gemini and ART combo, sounds good

^ I heard that set up from a local member and that **** sounds good! Very "throaty", however, it's on a DE (06') but I'm sure the HR sound just as good, if not better.

Travlee... Thx a ton man! I love it! I kinda swore off modding my Z further but that sound with the gains are VERY tempting. Damnit.... I'm never going to get my new toy, lol

Keep in mind my original tune was 275, and second was 286.. didn't gain as much as it seems... my clutch was slipping when I did the 264. I also have the hr, not sure if you do

I am DE but I'm not expecting those numbers. I'd be happy with just the extra noise and throttle response

Just wanted to give some updates. After installing the berk test pipes, I got the CEL regarding the heated O2 sensor issue. After trying everything including the uprev, the codes were still there. I decided to put the OEM cat back on, but still didn't clear the codes. Last week, I replaced bank 1 upstream and bank 1 downstream O2 sensors, but still didn't solve the issue. Look like I will have to replace the other two sensors. So frustrated!
