i have an xforce oval muffler in my 3" system and its damn quiet. So thats an option if u need one.

Will the Xforce muffler fit to the JJR exhaust? Mine is 3 inch going into 3.5 inch muffler I think

I see on Just Jap they have a 3 inch x force mufflers for 195 bucks... is is straight bolt on to my JJR exhaust?

Resonators really make not difference, so many people have been caught by the promise of them working.

Dual mufflers is the only real way to get them to a decent level of quiet

My current muffler is 3.5, will it make much of a difference with 3 inch muffler as others have stated?

I have put my rear seats back in and it is still droney for my liking, the passengers hate going in the back now cos its damn noisy.

Anyway I have measured the actual width of the muffler pipe which is protruding and it is 4.5 inches wide. I thought mine was meant to be 3.5 in width?

If I was to get another canon muffler from x force which is 2.5 or 3 inches will it quiten down my exhaust a fair bit? But will this also need welding?

Or should I just go and get an oval muffler and weld that thing on?

I dont know how much welding will cost and where to get good second hand or even new (prefer second hand) oval mufflers in Melbourne.

Please help.

you have to get rid of that resonnator and stick in another muffler like the one i pictured...

just take it to an exhaust shop and they'll do it for you for a few hundred bucks - try Daalder in Box Hill or Dandenong.

Thanks for that mate.

What about fitting a smaller canon or an oval rear muffler? Would that be the same? Actually what would happen if I wahcked on my stock rear muffler at the back?

I want something for cheap lol

wow i didn't think xforce and quiet went in the same sentance... I have a stainless steel xforce turboback and it is very very loud. It has a hotdog style resonator, Ive been wanting to change it to an oval resonator or proper middle muffler but have been told it wont fit...

I went from a stock exhaust with twin motorbike looking cannons (ricey) to a x-force turbo back exhaust, and my exhaust man said it was too quiet. It is extremly quiet

My system sounds really good at the moment, it consists of an x-force 3" to twin 2" tip muffler at the rear, a mercury 3" slight offset straight through mid muffler and hiflow cat. Just to give you an idea the mid-muffler cost me $110 (muffler and labour) and reduced the exhaust noise heaps. Don't pay $375 seems very expensive.

i have noticed some xforce exhausts come with the oval style resonators and some with the hotdog like mine. my hotdog thing seriously musn't do anything cos its damn loud. Might look into geetting the xforce oval resonator or mid muffler seeing you guys seem to think its quiet.

Anyone dealt with "The Muffler Man"? They quoted me around $375 for the mid muffler to be added.

Sounds about right for a decent muffler.

You pay what you get for.

Some people would have a hernia if i told them how much more my mufflers cost (as it wasnt $375 i can assure you) :verymad:

      Using Trickle Chargers

      I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.

      Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.

      Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good
