extractors and 2in exhaust with lukey high flow muff and 4in dump pipe gives the best result i reckon but it isnt the best for performance.....2 1/5in is better but they bellow more and dont sound as ricey |

Have you had your hearing checked lately? haha
Acually I reckon quite a few so-called 'hot' geminis sound very close to some clapped out Datsun 120Ys! Listen for yourself and tell me what you think...
I have to say though, my Gemini is the best sounding of all. (How's that for modest haha) Genie extractors, 2 1/4" steel exhaust, large redback muffler, small hotdog on rear, with a 3" slash-cut exit.
None of this rice shit, they all sound like bees stuck in the straw of a maccas coke! Mine sounds like a real car, with a boom, pop, crackle on overrun, and a fat sound at any revs.
Ever notice these rice-mobiles on overrun? They all sound the same, ugly drone that is a dead giveaway for their relatively low state of tune. Nothing but a CAT back dump pipe, but where are the lumpy cams and the 10:1 compression? The sound and feel of an old-skool engine cannot be beat!
That's my rant. I don't agree with your 'fucking fan with a bonet(sp) on top' analysis, I do agree a lot of Gems sound like shite, but that is only my opinion. I don't hear too many cars these days that do sound nice.
Cheers |
