I am currently running the Greddy Twins I have had the system for about 6 months now and its a great setup. It is the emanage that is poor. It comes tuned with californias 91 octane gas and it sux. I am getting the Fcon V pro installed and tuned tuesday and will give you a heads up how it is with the v pro.

Yeah, the stock Greddy oil lines, are a favorite irritant [sic] of the Greddy kit...for both Phunk and myself.

They are almost guaranteed to leak within 12 months or less. Nothing major usually...just a drip here and there but its still an issue. Also, the greddy lines are STIFF and unflexible. With enough time, and heat, they will probably crack. We made up our own line upgrade kits to replace the Greddy lines.....Greddy should have just included this style line in their kit.


In respond to the OP, the Greddy kit out of the box is a timebomb. But with a few upgrades, its one of our favorite kits on the market. The low price of the kit, is indicative of the "tuner" nature of the kit. But add in the fuel system, a good EMS, like UTEC or FCON, and its a terrific setup, for both high boost and low boost.

the main issue with the lines is that the driver side has to route right on a sharp corner of the tensioner bracket, sooo it will rub a hole in it.


the forged lines are perfect !!

The Greddy uses old technology on the Turbos (oil cartridges instead of BB). I have Garretts on my GT2 and would love to have them along w/ the water cooling for my G35.

However, the Greddy is a very good kit for the money.

I have a sedan so exhaust options are slim. I have test pipes and the Borla. Sound is awesome but I will need to make a custom dual 3" if I go for more power (450+).

As you know, I have the EvoTT with test pipes and I think you heard it that one time. The Evo is by far the most popular and best sounding exhaust. The piping is 2.75, which is good for flow, and not overly loud. Other popular systems are AAM and SVRT, which are both 3 inch systems and are VERY loud. If you want a good combination of flow and loudness, the EvoTT is great! It's also very affordable.
