Best HFC, TP for Invidia Gemini?

Hey guys , I'm running right now Invidia Gemini on my coupe and I wonder what should I get next TP or HFC ? My goal is to have a really sexy sound coming out of my car (its already does , but I want more ) all I want to know is what is the best option to go with my exhaust , I dont want it to sound rspy , all I want is to be sexy , loud when I punch it , and a bit quiet at idle. If you possible to post some videos ,that will be awesome . G love !

BERK'S HFCs will give you added sound/rwhp and come with everything needed. I do recommend buying new OE gaskets when you do the install.

did a quick search.

kinda surprised people have already put ART Pipes on with the Invidia. both are relatively newer for the platform.

hope it helps you get an idea.

personally, I would go with the ART Pipes. I have yet to hear any complaints, besides the faint fumes. Dyno proven superior over most, if not all HFCs/test pipes and have yet to hear an exhaust it sounds bad or makes a worse sound.

What he said! I ran this setup when I had my car. Sounded great. It sounds like you have it now just bit louder with hfc.

I'm not sure how it sounds with ART pipes. I sold my car before I got the chance to pick up a set to play with. I've heard nothing but good things in regards to the ART pipes.

Either way you go you're good

They all are good just depends on what you want. Well to answer your questions I'm running momentum headers and I had no issues with the ART pipes.

I couldn't tell a major difference due to already having test pipes before, but you probably will coming from stock cats.

I used to have labree test pipes and the ARTs showed gains throughout the powerband over them on the dyno.

If you don't have to worry about emissions and want the most hp/tq get the ARTs.

If emissions are a issue get the HFCs.

I would love to hear more about this combo. I just got ARTs, and I'm trying to decide what exhaust to go next. I really like the invidia since it's supposed to be relatively quiet compared to the other aftermarket exhausts. The Stock and ARTs make so rasp, so I'm trying to get rid of that, but I dont wanna drop another 1.5K for the Shockwave.

Hopefully there will be more input regarding this combo, so I can bite the bullet!

Dsskyline, you mentioned you got momentum headers how do you like them ? because i'm planning on buying their headers and single kit turbo for my G next year. And I heard ART pipes give you the rsap sound like civic has ( **** I wish I had RPG , every time I hear one of those cars in my city ) is it true? you see I dont want any rasp sound from my car I want to be loud and sexy when I punch it, I love the Gemini sound.. i want to keep it that way but just make it a little more violent . And thank you guys for all your replays and please keep posting videos if you can !

Did the track vid sound raspy to you? I always get comments on the exhaust you can't hear it until you get on it. I like their headers. I've had them for almost 3yrs with no issues.
