nice update, what's the difference with the old x-pipe and the new one? bigger? it the overall piping bigger?
Sure, tell me there's a new Q300 version AFTER I buy mine!J/K...I like mine. Not raspy at all. Deep sounding...a little louder while gunning it but not much different (no droning) at cruise. No regrets - I highly recommend it.
Gordon, send me a new one and I can compare it to the old one for you.![]()
socal FX45 here reporting for testing!![]()
DJ - I agree, since you have a FX45, the Q300 is an awesome setup where having the resonators shouldn't make a big difference on our harmonically balanced V8's vs the V6's. Our V8's won't rasp like the V6's, so less of an issue.
Gordon, thanks for getting both of these exhausts made. You keep making me think if I should trade up from my HKS to your true Dual Invidia. And you made it even harder by making me wonder which one to get!
I really like how you went up to a 3.00" piping on the newer one.
Who wants my custom y-pipe + hks mid and rear section? =)
Ghetto-SO you going to hook up with Gordon to guinea pig the updated Invidia Q300 on your 45? Really want to see how the new system now functions on a 45 and see a DYNO TEST. If you are the first with a 45 a clearly written up install and performance summary will be greatly appreciated.
I've been on the Q300 fence fora few months, if it can truly add power across the spectrum I'll be on the list to purchase.
Gordon, care to clarify on the size of the piping throughout the system, is it really 3"?
INFINITI 03-08 FX35/45 GEMINI SINGLE LAYER TITANIUM TIPS CAT-BACKafaik this new dual canister exhaust is called 'GEMINI'...just reference what gordon wrote in the 1st post...the main diff between this and the q300 are the included resonators, bigger x-pipe, dual canister and a 3rd tip option - single wall titanium tip.
i dont know if the over-all piping is larger, ill let you guys know once i swing by gordon's shop. i do agree w/ a previous post that 3" diameter is overkill for a NA setup, so im hoping this might be a 2.5" piping which is larger than the q300's 2.33"....we'll see, gordon is supposed to call me on monday to set things up.
as far as install goes, i believe they'll be doing this in their own shop but i'll be bringing my own digicam to snap some shots for you guys.
