Default Unhappy with the Invidia Gemini CBE

Hey guys,
I had the Invidia CBE for about a year now and I am just not happy with it. It is just way to quiet for my liking. It doesnt even really sound much louder than stock tbh.

Now is it worth it to upgrade the exhaust or just live with it. I have been interested in the TOP SPEED PRO-1 Performance Titanium Look Catback Exhaust System.
NISSAN 370Z Z34 VQ37 09-13 DUAL PERFORMANCE EXHAUST SYSTEMS (TITANIUM LOOK) - Top Speed Auto Accessories, Inc.

sounds good on the videos.




What other exhausts are loud with no rasp or very little.

Do you have any other components ie highflow cats,test pipes or headers? If not,maybe look into adding something to what you got. Search for a sound clip of someone with the same catback,but is coupled with one of the 3 I just mentioned.

You should look into Motordyne.

Why do you want to be so loud. The car alone should get you attention.

The thing is, I like somewhat of a loud exhaust. The gemini (IMO) is to quiet for an aftermarket system. It is a great exhaust dont get me wrong. Its just a little to tame for me lol.

That's what I have Sounds pretty good, paired with an intake it's pretty loud but still tame enough for daily driving comfortably. Doesn't have a raspy sound like many other exhausts without cats

Sounds great c2. I'm looking to do this exact set up. OP you might want to look along the lines of a resonator delete. There are a few videos on YouTube and it sounds a lot louder.
