Default Should I even consider the Invidia V3?

What do you guys think?? I have an AP2 and am looking at numerous exhausts....the Invidia V3 seems like a bargain but am I getting what I'm paying for --> the cheapest the shitiest?? I've heard a lot of horror stories....can you reasure me or should I just stay away??

I'm worried here cause it seems like an attractive offer, I like the look, but the sound, quality, and fitment may not be right.....any input would be greatly appreciated...maybe even pics of the Invidia V3 on an AP2....thanks in advance

I'm guessing you've seen my video


Yes you will gain power out of it. However you'll need a testpipe to get its TRUE power gain (it gains an addition 15hp with a tp, I have dyno proof). But even without that, your looking at one of the highest gaining duals on the market. The other duals that claim +15hp is strickly because they have a testpipe coupled with their exhaust so don't be fooled. You get a tp and you'll have that gain easily with the invidia.

There have only been a few people complaining of problems with the invidia. I don't think you'll have a qualitiy issue, and if you do, it is an american company so no 100 week wait time BS.

i just invidia put on my car saturday and i couldnt be more happy with the product. The exhaust is great quality i dont know what the fuss is about on that issue, it is loud but you CAN control the infamous droning around 3-4K, it is by no means a quiet system thats for sure. At 5-8k it sounds like a freakin race car i cant seem to drive normal anymore. Oh yeah i was really hesitant on buying it but seriously you arent going to regret it!

they just slide into the tailpipes. there is a hole on the bottom of each of the tips and there is 1 bolt that tightens down on the bottom of each. they dont really make it quieter it sounds as if they only change the tone (a little bit higher note). i hade mine on for a day and wasnt really happy with them. they rattled somewhat since they dont make a perfect seal, and personally i think it looks bad
