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

awww alright bye

Your original post said resonator?

So take it back to the shop and ask them to make it quieter. if you haven't scratched it up they may take it back and do a deal with a different setup.

My setup is 3" bell mouth dump to a catco ceramic, then to a large straight through oval, then it steps up the 31/2" to the cannon. tested at 88db.

nah sorry i have a small muffler thats it.

how would they make it quieter though? i have been told many times the japanese mufflers are way quieter than the rest. I put a hurricane muffler on my car before and it was barely quieter than my current cannon.

They're the experts, they should be able to give you a couple of options. My cannon and oval are SS jasma, not sure on brand as they were second hand, but they seem like they are well made, with nil restriction or step-downs.

Resonators and hotdogs are just pipes with bulges in them, and really only effect the tone of the sound.

Just take it back and ask them what can be done.

They'll probably say bigger mid muffler, replace the cannon with oval.

Turbo it. That will make it quieter.

[Missileman]

what engine you got

[IM-32-FK]

Turbo it. That will make it quieter.

i am at the end of the year. In less than a month i got checked twice to see if my car was turbo by the cops..and if it was then that was $2000 out of pocket and loss of license for 6 months

You need a two and a half inch exhaust from front pipe back a muffler after the cat and a resonater at the rear before the tip. Its simple as .Don't go any bigger or you will lose power with an na. :-)

Speak to Kevin at active exhaust systems, best mufflers I've had

Made in Wollongong too

Subtle, doesn't stand out like dog balls with a massive tip ! Quiet and is straight through design !

That depends a bit on the type of resonator. Some just have a pipe with holes in it (like a normal muffler), but a decent one will have the holes that are pulled down into the pipe to direct the sound up into the muffler packing more. They make a noticeable difference to volume. The missus sss pulsar just has 1 of those (about 18" long) and a straight through 2" oval muffler and it isn't that loud at all. When I first installed the system I just tried it with the rear muffler only and it was LOUD.
