My neighbour has a WRX with a carbon fibre cannon that cost him 550 bucks alone.. I could get a full 3.5" straight-through system for about that money.

I'd be interested to hear otherwise.

This is too true.

When was the last time you saw a WRC Rex with a cannon?

when was the last time you saw any track car with a cannon?? that said though, when was the last time cops let you off with the exhaust coming out under the doors?? WRC cars do have a rear muffler, its more like a square box though i think, well it was last time i looked at one.

I have a cannon, I'd love a straight pipe... but my cannon is loud as it is so how the hell do you guys with straight pipes expect to pass EPA/cops/rego? Also talk to people in your car and not get headaches everytime you're in there because the helmet you're not wearing isn't muffling the sound?

]']hm..

cannons may look nice on some cars

but too loud for my liking

i love my Fujitsubo oval muffler ;)

Yep go the Fujitsubo......Although I reckon the original tips on them are a bit small.

So I changed mine to a 5.5inch :D

Still dont mind the look of cannons....but only on the right car and when its angled

Prefer Titanium cannons these days as oppose to the shiny ones....

Ganador Titanium exhausts with titanium cannon... :drooling:

simple, drown it out with a sound system lol

ya i've got an apexi "super megaphone" cat back exhuast,,, it is so quiet!!!

sometimes i can't even tell if the engine is running or not.

but with a name like "super megaphone" you'd think otherwise!! haha

its a bit on the shiny side though,,,

well... if your not concerned about the whole legal thing.. straight through of headers/ dump, no cats or resonators, mild dull steel.. :uhuh:

I see ricer shitboxes all the time. Just laugh. theres this old lancer near my work..dead stock...monster tacho..hks blitz trust ect...really cool plastic mesh on the frount.. :aroused:

I agree... Cannon mufflers are over-used these days on far too many lame cars.

I think cannons look great on certain cars, 200's, supra's, and some wrx's, but its pathetic to see a 4" cannon on festiva's etc.

I actually like twin cannons on skylines.

And for what it's worth... here's my exhaust.

    • But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

    • After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
