I Made A Big Mistake...i Put A Cannon On My Car

[IM-32-FK]

Its too effn loud that it gave me a headache coming back from the exhaust shop. A xforce cannon with a 3 inch internal diameter. He said it would be louder than my previous jansai one but i didnt think it was gonna be this loud! The r32 even has a cat convertor and another resonator before the cannon and its doing my head in! what a waste of money!! do not buy these cannons for your own sake and everybody elses

Agreed, the bigger the muffler body, the better the sound absorption. Should have gone for an oval Xforce or Varex at a minimum. Resonators do fark all from my experience, mid mufflers are required, and the 4 inch thick Magnaflow offset muffler fits in there nicely with plenty of clearance.

The Japs are pretty good with their exhaust design, and if you find the right system such as the Fujitsubo Jasma exhaust, it will flow well and possibly pass a noise test. You need to watch for restriction pipes in the rear muffler on some systems as it's cheaper than simply designing a good muffler.

my cannon sounded awesome...you got ripped

I like my twin tips,nice and quiet putting around town but when you open her up on the freeway a lovely angry roar. :-)

I've heard of many an X-Force muffler developing irritating frequencies that become unbearable > even headaches.

I once put an oval one with twin tips on my BMW 328ci - bad move! The drone was worst at Motorway speed - 110km/hr

[scotty nm35]

You actually think there is any difference between an Xforce and Magnaflow muffler (or most other brands) internally Terry? No point blaming the brand imo, just the design and size.

An offset muffler is going to do a better job of dropping decibels than a straight through.

Design flaw or laissez-fair R&D I suspect

Design of many Alfa Romeo sound boxes and mufflers I love. Some are even triangular in exterior dimensions.

You too Huh? I took my Blitz Nur canon off and put a 3" Magnaflow Straight thru muffler with a twin tip on.

Love it. (too old for Canons)

Droneless but nasty at WOT.

[R33shaun]

you think skyline cannons are noisy and drony?

i just bought a forrester turbo (cheap) and its got a cannon on it, sounds like a wet fart through a megaphone in an amphitheater. its a horrible noise.

needless to say as soon as the budget allows it'll be getting a far quieter system

It certainly is olly,had a custom exhaust and the three inch tips made ten years ago, sounds fantastic and looks factory. :-)

waaah waaah...what a waste of $260...someone point me in the right direction i want a kansai muffler or another japanese muffler because they are much quieter...

[Got a Pulsar]

You could always get a decent sized, free flowing mid muffler to quieten it.

[junkie]

I had a cheapass cannon on my auto r31. Big mistake it lasted half an hour before being ripped out and replaced with an xforce twin tip muffler.

[Missileman]

My canon rocks! the reason its not too loud is I have a big arse oval after the cat.

[mad082]

It doesn't have to be a Japanese muffler to be quiet. Just go back to the exhaust shop and get a decent muffler put on.

[mad082]

Also, if your car is a natro then yes it will be loud with a 3" cannon. In fact it will be loud with any 3" muffler. Go back to a smaller muffler (or complete system if you went 3" all the way) and it will be much quieter

[Humbla]

Jap exhausts dangle too low its another reason for locally made, I have no probs with scraping over bumps and besides skylines come with twin tips from the factory, good enough for me to steer cleer of Milo tins. Never had a defect in my twelve years of skyline love. :-) :-) :-)

[Missileman]

pfffft my ride is above 10cm and within afdr noise regs and just happens to be a non branded jasma ex.

[Humbla]

Pfft well woopty do its not all about brands but what it looks and sounds like, plus I happen to know a major police factor is a Milo can tip, have been told so by hwp at many rbt stations,I drive thirty thousand plus a year for work from qld to Tassie no defects,keep it sneaky is my motto. :-)
