G'day Mick,

hey wayne,

Three questions

Where did u get this from?

How much?

Much quieter than a canon?

Is it more restrictive than the canon?

cheers mick

Where did u get this from?:

Bought & fitted at Kirrawee Mufflers

http://www.kirraweemufflers.com/

How much?:

Both Kirrawee & Best Mufflers quote $500 for this specific model.

I originally ordered the single pipe oval for $400 - they couldnt get me one straight away so they offered me the dual pipe version for the same price :D I'm glad I ended up with the dual pipe, looks much more stock.

Much quieter than a canon?:

Definitely quieter than the cannon I had fitted, or at least has a lot less bass.

I also replaced the large resonator I had for a hot-dog type, this would affect it as well of course.

The new muffler is still fairly loud when the valve is fully open, I had a mate take it for a drive past me and it did sound very nice indeed.

Is it more restrictive than the canon?:

Yes, no question at all - I did go from a 3.5" to 3" for starters. Theres no way it could be as free flowing.

I'd love to put it on a dyno again (was dyno'd only 3 weeks ago) just to see the numbers.

I've done quite a few 0-160 tests since buying the car, and with the new muffler I am honestly hard-pressed to notice any significant difference. I do think that the turbo is spooling up a little higher in the rev range though... I think! Not much in it if it is :D

At least now I feel a lot safer going past the cops, it looks standard and I can turn the bugger down if need be.

Cheers

I would go Apexi N1

its really quiet when you want it to be, but produces a very clean note when you giving it some pin. That said, its not what i would call a loud exhaust at any rpm

Could be an option?

Thats the thing - until you see and hear any given muffler hooked up to the same kind of car as yours, its hard to know what you might find too loud or not loud enough.

I've been having evil thoughts about constructing some kind of solenoid activated valve that simply diverts/opens up the pipe before the resonator :D I'm sure I'm not the first to have thought of that though! Would be nice to have for the times when you really want maximum performance...

Got my twin dump pipe from these guys... The said that there twin tips have same flow as there cannon and look at there power figures...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
