Adam_Williams Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Hi All, For what it's worth I thought I'd share a few thoughts on the Invidia Gemini that I have installed on the Zed. This is full cat-back. Fitment - took a local mechanic who has proper car lift no longer than 90 mins to swap stock for new. No issues getting onto car whatsoever. Tips sit very nicely out of the back. Looks like a shiny version of the stock one, with slightly thicker tips with rolled edges. Looks very nice and could easily be mistaken for stock. Sound - very similar tone to stock, albeit about 20% louder. Sounds much deeper to about 5krpm and beyond that the noise differential seems to drop off a little (from inside cabin anyway). Basically, just what I wanted. A little more without being excessive. Drone - nothing significant, if at all. I drove 180 miles immediately after fitment all of which is motorway and didn't notice volume had increased in cabin. Perhaps slightly deeper tone with throttle inputs but not intrusive at all. Overall v pleased with the system. I can understand why some may be left wanting more. However for those more interested in slightly more and maintaining stock look and tone, I think it's spot on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtJavnk Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I share similar thoughts. Very happy with the exhaust’s sound. It gets even better with driven miles. Pros: -sound -fitment -looks (how you know you succeded in life? You can put your fist in the exhaust!) -Used to be a good price deal cons: -poor coating (after two years, 10-15k km) my exhaust -looks like it’s been through desert of salt) -rear exhaust tips become oval when you tighten them -missing additional hanger on RHS by design -slip-on design at the cats instead of flex pipe I’ve heard ARK bit wasn’t impressed by the sound. A step up would be TDX2. Additionaly they’ve positioned the merge of exhaust closer to the engine, proving on dyno it’s better for performance. LH and RH bank pioes should be joined as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Muxlow Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I used to have 1 on my old 370Z which I loved also. It's a great exhaust. I put high flow cats on it as well and it really brought it to life when under acceleration. She sounded lovely. There was no noticeable additional drone either. but as I said sounded lovely when you wanted it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
