Question About Exhaust System

[scathing]

If cannons were cool and actually made a good sound, V8 vehicles would have them - fortunately they don't.

I recently fitted a Buddy Club exhaust to my Z. The car isn't daily driven anymore, and I wanted noise on the track (and something cheap, mainly). It runs a centre hotdog and a pair of cannons out back. The thing drones painfully at low RPM and low loads, but it sounds good once I get on the throttle.

The problem with most cannons that rotbox Lancers use is that they're shit ones built down to a price point, and the exhaust they're attached to will be "custom made" by some idiot whose only concern was making it fit, not making it perform. There are some cars with some nice sounding cannons out there, but like your stereotypical Japanese import owner the few good ones are drowned out by the sea of shitness.

By the same token, I've heard some stock free-flowing exhausts that have sounded absolutely rubbish. I can't say I'm a big fan of the E36 M3's if the throttle isn't jammed all the way open, and a few years ago I heard a Ferrari 360 driving through a shopping district that I mistook for an Excel with a Supercheap cannon.

Ferrarri's do generally sound shit unless they're having their neck's wrung.

Best N/A exhaust I've heard is what you see on a lot of Datto 1200's - 4 into 1 extractors into a 2.25 pipe with one muffler (older ones no cat too lol) and a 3in or so tip. Side draught carburettors and cams make it even better.

I love the system on my gf's one, absolutely roars up in the rev range, and never sounds farty or droney at all.

Cannon's on any N/A car are aids and sound like it too, a turbo Skyline has a completely different exhaust note to an N/A. That said, all the cool kids have blast pipes or flutes anyway
