Many find the Invidia N1 exhaust too aggressive and the Q300 not quite aggressive enough. So the new Invidia Gemini R400 was created to fill that gap. Just like the Q300 the Gemini has no drone. It’s something your mother could easily drive to the grocery store without complaining about a thunderous exhaust leak. Something that can’t be said about the N1 exhaust.

The new Gemini system starts with a resonated mid pipe that flows into two uniquely stacked straight through mufflers, then exits out the dual 101mm polished stainless steel tips or the optional burnt blue titanium tips. It’s slightly louder than stock off throttle, but as soon as you hear it on a cold start or step into the accelerator pedal, everyone around you will hear the aggressive tone. It’s just loud enough to enjoy a twisty backroad, yet still tame at highway speeds to easily carry on a conversation without raising your voice.

If you’re looking for a daily driver exhaust that isn’t overbearingly loud and droney, then we seriously recommend the Gemini. It’s aggressive when you want but it’s still able to be reserved if you lighten up on the gas. However if you want a more aggressive tone, closer to that of the N1, you can simply pair the Gemini with a set of headers and front pipe.

Specs:
Idle: 71 db
Revving: 99 db
Piping Diameter: 70mm
Tip Diameter: 101mm
Tip Material: Polished Stainless or Titanium
Piping Material: 304 Stainless Steel

Have you had a chance to pair it up with a UEL??

It sounds pretty good and appears to be well made, but I'm a weirdo when it comes to exhausts like this that add a bunch of extra piping. It's like a mini maze is created for the exhaust gas to go through.

I can't help but imaging how much extra piping would be sticking out the back of the car if you made all those bends straight instead. Maybe that's why exhausts like the single exit straight through style appeal to me the most.

How much does the whole package weigh? Less than stock I hope?

zc06_kisstherain 02-24-2017 04:32 PM

nice and Invidia made wise choice of getting rid of slip joints like Q300 pipe.
I still think Q300 is way to go if you're going with header

finch1750 02-24-2017 05:06 PM

In for weight. And for a vid as a full headerback

Keenercarguy 03-07-2017 10:54 AM

I look forward to these being everywhere instead of N1's

I just got the q300 on trade for my N1 so if the Q300 does not fill the need I guess that this might be the next stop provided it does not weight a ton... Also in for the weight.

That'd be nice, but unfortunately I don't see that happening, considering that the exhaust costs about double what most people are paying for N1s. Cheap-ass hardparkers with bad taste will continue to buy the crappy fart can N1 like crazy.

But this does seem like a pretty nice exhaust for a reasonable price, for those of us with some taste. ;)

Keenercarguy 03-07-2017 12:01 PM

Hey a man can dream that everyone will have some semblance of taste lol

Also in for information on this with a header, plus the decibels for said header- catback combo… need to quiet my setup down a bit. Also: price?

I don't own an N1, but my exhaust is plenty loud...I have poor taste?

Depends on the exhaust. You can have a loud exhaust that doesn't sound bad.

Have you ever heard the GTLM cars at an IMSA race? :thumbup:

I just think the N1 sounds like garbage.
