Hey ppls.

I got EPA’d again.

Performance Exhaust in Ringwood recommended replacing my Cannon at the back with a Magnaflow box.

Reckons with no other mufflers, this will make the car legal.

Anyone had any experience with Magnaflow?

Sound good?

hay bass they are not bad we (my dad and me got one made up for just for epa stuff) they are great and sound ok but just get a flang puton behind the cannon and get a stock muffler and bolt it on and then get it tested and when you get home change it over again.

I'll be putting in a flange so that when racing I can put the old muffler on just for aural pleasure.

I'll leave the Magnaflow on all the time, cos it's too loud in the car at the moment.

I HAD a stock exhaust and I lent it to HasLo on these forums.

It has since been fitted to his car for complience and then lent to one of his friends workshops who backed over it with a forklift, so I have no exhaust.

I want to reduce the noise of my car anyway, so the new muffler is the go.

...driving around in James' brothers WRX which has a Magnaflow cannon, it is still damn noisy for a stock car with stock exhaust apart from the muffler. Dotn know what model muffler it was...but i supose if you get one of their quiet exhausts rather then a 'performance' exhaust ????

Oh, and it's got a slightly offset muffler (Fujitsubo) in the middle

It's got a muffler in the middle AND one at the rear and it's still too loud. Damn they must not be much of a muffler.

What we do is fit a bolt in restrictor in the rear muffler, then it is a simple matter of undoing 4 screws and removing the restrictor. The restrictor is a reverse cone shape and makes the exhaust bounce outwards into the silencing material, rather than go straight through. With your access you should be able to make one up out of stainless steel pretty easily.

You trim the size of the hole in the restrictor until you get the desired noise level. Start of quite and gradually trim until it is at the limit. It does knock the top off the performance, but it is quick and easy to remove.

:P cheers :P

damn , i just fit a trust power extreme II about 3 weeks ago

theres a r33 power getter but no 34 so I guess its that . did you have to modify anything to get it to fit ? i had to mod my peII for the 4 door and that was a r34 exhaust anyway

strange that its loud , fuji are one of the quieter exhaust manufacturers around and my s15 power getter had no problems passing the pits .

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
