KyleR Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) So, I managed to get a guy to fit the Gemini this morning, was a real PITA to get one of the nuts off from the cats and ended up having to chop it off, to be expected on a 9 year old car though. When it came to fitting it went on like a dream, even to the point where even the tips are pretty much perfectly in line, although may need adjusted in the future when everything settles in, should be easy though. So, here's a few snaps i took of the underbelly after it was fitted. Front Middle Back And here are a few pix of it when I got home after a bit of a blast out the road to try blow the cobwebs out. Now, the important bit, the noise! It's not really intrusive from in the cabin, quite quiet up until 3500-4000 rpm then it has a nice deep tone, much nicer than OEM. It works well with the Popcharger as it tends to kick in about 3000 rpm and the 2 sound excellent together without being annoying for a daily driver. I can only imagine what it'll sound like with decats or HFC's and there's only one way to find out I'll get a video sorted once the thing has settled down and stops smoking like Joe Brand CS Edited February 23, 2013 by KyleR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Do all the sections bolt up without gaskets? I plan on selling the cobra and silenced decats very soon and putting the motordyne art pipes and invidia on as my perfect setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on selling the cobra and silenced decats very soon and putting the motordyne art pipes and invidia on as my perfect setup Why would you not want to use gaskets, or am I being thick? Gaskets and bolts come with, just have to reuse the bolts and gaskets from the cats as there are 8 joins and only 6 gaskets, 12 nuts and bolts. All flanges are a perfect fit as expected from a good midrange exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Just didn't look like any gaskets were in the box, that's cool I have some new Nissan ones I purchased that I didn't use when I bought the cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ah ok, no I just didn't think to place the bag of bits in the pic. It also comes with a gold and a silver invidia sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy buying some black leather seats to swap out those ugly Alezan ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have the same exhaust (with different tips) and it was sent to me directly from Invidia in the US, also this month. Thing is that mine hasn't got flexi joints, I have interference fit on mine. Reckon it's the new batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is that mine hasn't got flexi joints, I have interference fit on mine. Reckon it's the new batch? Hmm, not sure I like that idea. The flexis are the weak point and do eventually fail, maybe thats why they removed them? But on my Invidia G200 I have had to replace them both in the last couple of years, although they were 6-7 years old and take a battering due to being FI. Not a big problem just cut out the old ones and weld in a couple of new ones, you can get from any motor factor for about £20. BUT they must have failed because they were doing their job and 'flexing'. If they had not been there then the stress of the engine movement would be felt else where - probably the Manifold And i wouldn't want that to crack.
