So much for one of my mods

Lasted one week. Took my Invidia Gemini exhaust out today.

Wife and I agreed that it was too loud. Bad enough driving around too fast, but this exhaust would've gotten me in some trouble with the law where I drive.

I'll be polishing the sucker up and putting it up for sale.

Pics coming this coming week.

The build quality of this exhaust is outstanding. Thick stainless, great welds, good stuff. Much better than stock, I just wish it wasn't such a screamer.

i feel the same way about my invidia exhaust, its too loud, its fun at times but other times can drive me crazy.

i wonder if there is anyway you can add a silencer or an extra resonator or something to quiet it down a bit.

The Gemini is quiet! I've heard it in person it's quiet until you get HFCs or test
Pipes, then it's loud.

What? LOL not loud at all! I had it with stock cats, hfc, and (currently) test pipes. I only consider it loud now.

Perhaps try just keeping the axle back portion & see if it quiets things down a bit...

I would love to hear a sound sample...I like more exaust sound, but I can see how louder can draw more attention to my driving habbits by the law...can you put up sample?

i thought the GEMINI was one of the quietest cat backs out there? Maybe you should stick to just an axleback.
