Red face I need opinion and suggestions about my exhaust!!

I recently purchased a Invidia Gemini Cat-Back exhaust system and wasn't to impressed with the volume it's giving out. To me I barely here it when I am cruising around the block not unless I step on it and reach a certain rpm.

I've been looking at the Megan Drift exhaust and Top Speed Cat-Back exhaust. Can anyone can give me an opinion about this two or which one will be the best bet for me to purchase??

I want my Z to sound more meaner and more volume..

I need your help guys!

Thanks!

Instead of a new exhaust,why not simply get some high flow cats? Or test pipes
Either of those will also gain more power also

Fast Intentions Non-Resonated or 12in Resonated. If you dont want to buy a new exhaust go with Test Pipes that should make a big difference in sound.

I would look at ART pipes as an option. It wouldn't RASP like TP's and will give you the extra db you want

Agreed. I added ART pipes and it gave me the volume I was looking for.

He explained everything to me in great detail, double verified that he understood what I wanted. He was also upfront about the expected waiting period for me to get my stuff. I ordered the CBE and the LTH, and it's gonna get here around the middle of June. Can't wait!
