Full 76mm System with Front Pipe:
The Invidia R400 Gemini features full 76mm (3-inch) piping throughout the entire system, including the front pipe. This creates a complete turbo-back exhaust upgrade that dramatically reduces backpressure and allows the K20C1 turbo engine to breathe freely. The result is proven power gains, improved throttle response, and enhanced turbo spool.
Mandrel-Bent SUS304 Stainless Steel:
All piping is mandrel-bent to maintain consistent internal diameter throughout each bend, eliminating the crimping and restriction that occurs with crush bending. The SUS304 stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. This premium material ensures the exhaust maintains its appearance and performance even after years of use.
Triple Burnt Titanium Tips:
The triple burnt titanium tips feature a stunning burnt titanium finish that adds a premium, high-end appearance to your Type R. The center-exit triple tip design fills the rear bumper cutouts perfectly and creates an aggressive, race-inspired look. The titanium construction is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, maintaining its appearance over time.
Aggressive R400 Sound:
The Invidia R400 Gemini delivers an aggressive, race-inspired exhaust tone that showcases the K20C1 turbo engine's character. The sound is loud and exciting during acceleration, with enhanced turbo spool and blow-off valve noise. At cruising speeds, the exhaust maintains a refined tone with minimal drone, making it suitable for daily driving.
Proven Power Gains:
Dyno testing shows the Invidia R400 Gemini delivers +15 HP and +18 lb-ft torque on a stock FK8 Type R. These gains come from the improved exhaust flow and reduced backpressure throughout the entire system. When combined with other modifications (intake, downpipe, tune), the gains are even more significant as the exhaust supports higher power levels.
Direct Bolt-On Installation:
The R400 Gemini is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory exhaust. No cutting, welding, or permanent modifications are required. The system uses factory mounting points and includes all necessary gaskets and hardware for a straightforward installation.
