Default Motordyne, Gemini, or fast intentions exhaust near IL/WI border

Is there anyone near the IL/WI border with the motordyne tdx v2, invidia gemini, or fast intentions cat-back that will let me hear it in person?

I am looking to buy a cat-back system. I will be keeping the stock cats at least for now. I am looking to keep that VQ sound just have it be louder/deeper with no drone. This car will be a summer daily so I don't want it too loud.

I have listened to every clip I can find but would prefer to hear in person if possible.

Thanks for the help.

I suggest invidia gemini , only 800 and its not much louder than stock but its deeper. Then you can always do test pipes to get it louder which i did. No drone. Gonna be hard to have someone drive to you or let you come over just for a few revs.

I second the Gemini suggestion. The Motordyne would most likely be too loud for your taste, and will not provide any significant horsepower increase over the Gemini anyway (especially not considering the price difference). Gemini sounds good, flows just fine, and can be livened up with other mods as Sailors mentioned. I recommend pairing it with some ART pipes, or PPE longtubes if you want to go big. I'll be running the Gemini/ART combo myself eventually.

I think you'd like the Gemini exhaust the best.

i had 2 of the 3 listed, Gemini and the TDX2.

the gemini is mild with cats, pair it with ART pipes and it sounds good. still quiet while cruising but can wake up in the higher rpm. drove 4 hours with this combo once, not a big deal

the tdx2 with ART pipes sounds good, but can be louder in the cabin for conversations (especially if gf, wife or whoever is in there), and can get kinda old if you take a long road trip, after about 2 hours with this setup i was ready to get out of the car

i think with the tdx2 you will lose some of the sound you are wanting to retain

I ended up ordering the Invidia exhaust. Thanks for the help.
