Invidia Exhaust Clips

Does anyone have any clips of an Invidia exhaust on an MCS? If you happen to have an OBX (Or another) header, that'd be great too!

I'm pretty sure the Skunk2 exhaust is identical to the Invidia, so if you have that, it should work too :-). I'm tired of my One-Ball, too buzzy, too many pops.

Thanks in advance!

No sounds clips but Johan has that setup(OBX,Invidia) on his MCS.
One of my favorite exhaust systems. Sounds great on a dyno.

I give it....

I'd like to hear it with both. Also, driveby clips, and interior clips.

I can't stand the clips of people reving in their driveway, it sounds NOTHING like that in real life . The engine under load sounds completely different, plus speed changes the pitch.

Well, I can't seem to find anyone who has the exhaust with a set of headers and has recorded it, so i'm just going to bite the bullet and buy it.

Does anyone know a few places to pick up either the Invidia or the Skunk2 exhaust (Which I believe is identical)? I don't think the group buy for the invidia is still in effect. I'd REALLY like to get it before Friday so I can get it installed next weekend.

Good for you. You're doing what most of the rest of us have done. The first Invidia I heard & saw was on a G35.

Well, I have the one ball now, and I can't stand the buzzyness when cold, so yea. Any sources for purchase? I also have the OBX Header, and I'd love to hear it before I installed an Invidia AND OBX, cause my instinct is that it's going to be LOUD.

If you're going to be that ****, then unless you have the proper microphones and speaker set-up you will NEVER hear it like in real life...Just won't happen!

If you want to stop by I will be glad to let you hear my mini (invidia, stock cat, OBX) anytime!!

Nooo I'm not that ****. It sounds fine with a decent camera or mic on a drive by. I'm not so much talking about the quality of a revving sound clip, just that I could care what the car sounds like revving it in my driveway, I care what it sounds like when i'm DRIVING it :-)

Make sure that the OBX has a cat welded on (either aftermarket or stock) because it will be EXTREMELY loud. When I first got my Minimania header, I ran it with no cat and Invidia exhaust, and let me tell you, I was scared to drive around. I immediately took my stock header to a muffler shop to have them weld the cat onto my header that same day.

Yes my OBX most definatly has a cat welded on. Aside from not passing smog in LA, it's way too noisy without one :-)
