Question Invidia Gemini CB Two Different Resonators WTF?

So I bought my Invidia Gemini CB over a year ago and I took it out of the box straight to installing it without really looking closely to it. I've been extremly happy with this system and have no complaints what so ever.

The other day I had to uninstall my CB and put the OEM one back on so that the dealer can trouble shoot a noise that car is making that we can't figure out what it could be. They asked me to put the OEM exhaust and intakes back into the car...

So I was looking into the exhaust and came to notice that the flex joints are different WTF??? one is smaller than the other any one seen this before... does it make a difference at all? I wouldn't think so...

Thanks for the input...

Thanks for the correction... LOL! I should know better... Any way anyone seen this on their system? I does it really matter? I guess not... but looks funny... One is smaller and slimmer than the other.

I'm sure it does. I really like this exhaust... this really doesn't bother me much since it has been working perfectly and it suits my taste...plus you don't really see it LOL! it will be going back in as soon as the dealer gets the noise in my car figured out. I really miss it and it's only been out of the car since Friday....

Did you run HFC before going for test pipes or you went straight to TP's? If you did which ones and how did you like it?

I noticed mine had two different flex joints too. The driver's side was larger than the passenger side. I didn't think too much of it.

I actually had HFC before I had test pipes. I liked them. definitely louder than with the stock cats. With test pipes it's quite a bit louder than with the stock cats. Smells bad though. I liked both setups a lot. Depends what you're really going for.
