Has anyone tried (or heard) the Invidia exhaust on the Fit? These are legendary in S2000 application (primarily for sound but also power), but I haven't heard anything about the Fit application.

Anyone?

 

this is old news. it's been out for a WHILEE.

I posted this a while back looking for sound clips, pictures, or somthing but nothing, hope something like that shows up on this post

 

I realize that it's been available for a while; I was asking if anyone's used it, heard it or otherwise had any first-hand experiences with it.

 

Bump. I would like some more info on this as well.. Pictures and sound clips would be great .. A video would be killer as well.

Thanks

Dan

 

bump!!!!!!!!!

 

I had invidia on my s2000, theyre very loud exhaust system, im sure this one will b loud also

 

I had the Invidia catback installed a couple weeks ago, and we love it. I rarely have free time, and don't even know where my camera is, so the chances are slim that I'll be able to get pics or video anytime in the near future.

First off, fitment is absolutely perfect, and even though it has a large tip, it's somewhat discreet because of the way it tucks under the bumper. In other words, it doesn't protrude past the bumper at all, and is not obvious if you're not looking for it. We also have an Invidia V3 on our S2000, and on that one the tips extend at least 2 inches (probably more) past the bumper, and you can't miss it.

If you've ever heard an Invidia on an S2000, you understand what a loud exhaust is and you are probably all too familiar with the term "drone". While the Invidia for the Fit is nowhere near as loud or "droney" as the S2000, I would venture to say that it's probably one of the loudest there are for the Fit, and there is certainly drone. Both are liveable though, and there is a silencer included (which we haven't and probably never will install) - for what it's worth, the silencer is the same as those that come with the S2000 exhaust, and they quiet the S2000 down quite a bit.

Although load, it sounds like music to our ears, it sounds good at idle, mean on acceleration - it's hard to believe the sounds that this engine/exhaust combo make. It makes the Fit sound like a muscle car - very deep, very angry - similar to the Invidia for the S2000 but a lot quieter and probably a little deeper as well.

Performance wise, believe it or not, there is a noticeable gain. The car revs so much more freely at all RPMs - it really makes the Fit that much more pleasurable to drive. A lot of people say you don't get much gain from a catback, but we've been very pleased with the performance boost on both cars - FYI, on the S2000, the Invidia is one of the only dual exhausts that show ANY gains at all - maybe that's why they're so loud...

For those that want to see pics or comparisons, a wise man once told me that the Skunk2 and Invidia exhaust products differ in badge only... So if you've seen or heard a Skunk2 exhaust, that will give you a very good idea of what the Invidia looks and sounds like.

OH, BTW, I got the entire catback shipped to my door for a hair over $400. With some axlebacks running nearly that much (or more), this product is definitely up there with best bang for you buck mods you can do...

 

THANK YOU SBT....

I have been on the fence with this for awail... thank you for the write up on the invidia

 

to update this writeup, we have now used the included silencer for a couple of long trips where we took our dogs. they ride on the floor with the back seats folded up, so we didn't want them to be exposed to the booming exhaust the whole time.

with the silencer in, the car is nearly as quiet as stock. it's like two different cars completely - really nice to have the flexibility.

 

is this the 50 or 60 mm kit? thanks andy

 

I have the 50mm. There are some places that list a 60mm application, but the vendor I purchased it from said that was a type somewhere that got picked up by others. As far as I know if you want 60mm Skunk2 is your only option.
