Default $800 and below dual exhaust

I'm debating wether I should go with a megapower skunk2 dual exhaust for my 03 350z or is there a better exhaust under the above price range. I've never heard a skunk2 on a 350z except on videos but videos just don't do justice from a real point of view. Need options and opinions on the skunk2 exhaust

Spend a few bucks more ($87 to be exact) for a system that more people here like. Invidia Gemini

Thanks man, I've seen and heard this exhaust before and it's really nice. Never found one going for this price that you showed me, always found some for 1K.

do it right the first time, dont spend money on something and settle, trust me.... if you knew all the things i changed on my car before finally getting what i wanted initially, wasted so much money

i got ya beat mic... $879. when i bought my TDX2 from B2, they did free shipping.... might want to see if they still offer that, will save ya some $$ also

i had the gemini, loved it. quiet during cruzing, wakes up in the higher rpm range.

Im still a fan of having one made. I had my catback made for just over $600. Its just 1 magna flow muffler welded where the OEM resonator lies in the exhaust. And then comes back to 2 5" exhaust tips.

The great things about this setup: Its very affordable, you can get any style exhaust tips you like, there are no fitment issues because it is made to your car, and in my opinion is sounds great.

I will attach a video, but keep in mind that my setup is louder than yours would be because I also have headers, no cats, and a supercharger.

Check your local CL and the classifieds. You should be able to snag a more expensive exhaust for under $1000 because it will be "used." Best of luck!

Buy an HKS or a Motordyne for that used tbh. You'll get a better sounding and higher quality exhaust. Well worth it imo.

Invidia Gemini is a good option and is slightly above your price range but very worth it in my opinion. It's a true dual exhaust and not an exhaust with two exits.

Here's a clip of what it sounds like:

If its worth anything I have a DC Sports Catback that i got for around $600 shipped and i love it. Comes with an X pipe and it sounds amazing. No drone from inside the cabin and in high RPMs it sounds very racecar inspired but no rasp at all. Cant comment on the quality yet as i've only had it a few months but its full stainless steel and the welds were perfect so what else can i say haha.
