Should I even consider the Invidia V3?

I suggest you find someone in your area who has one and go ride in their car before you buy. The Invidia is to loud and has too much drone for most people.

I survived a V1 for about a year...the V3 is somewhat more quiet (have gone for a ride in an ap2 with the v3), but it was still too much for me and the drone was still pretty bad. I got rid of my Invidia and got a single...it's quieter.

Call a couple of the vendors and identify yourself as an S2Ki member and maybe you can deal a little.

I have to admit I never noticed a rattle of the silencers until it was mentioned here one day.
After that I did notice a slight buzz at initial start-up but this soon goes away as everything warms up and expands.
I can't speak to the quality of sound. I think mine sounds perfect with the silencers in but this exhaust does look much better with them out.
My perception of quality is that the V3 is first rate. Also my perception of easy fit and install is that nothing could be easier.
My final observation is that nothing looks as good as the Invidia and I perticulary like the way the tips angle outward. Lets just call it "attitude".

If you take a couple of extra minutes when you install the mufflers to the Y pipe, you should get a perfect fit.

When installed, everything is tight.
