i have an xforce oval muffler in my 3" system and its damn quiet. So thats an option if u need one.

Will the Xforce muffler fit to the JJR exhaust? Mine is 3 inch going into 3.5 inch muffler I think

I see on Just Jap they have a 3 inch x force mufflers for 195 bucks... is is straight bolt on to my JJR exhaust?

Resonators really make not difference, so many people have been caught by the promise of them working.

Dual mufflers is the only real way to get them to a decent level of quiet

My current muffler is 3.5, will it make much of a difference with 3 inch muffler as others have stated?

I have put my rear seats back in and it is still droney for my liking, the passengers hate going in the back now cos its damn noisy.

Anyway I have measured the actual width of the muffler pipe which is protruding and it is 4.5 inches wide. I thought mine was meant to be 3.5 in width?

If I was to get another canon muffler from x force which is 2.5 or 3 inches will it quiten down my exhaust a fair bit? But will this also need welding?

Or should I just go and get an oval muffler and weld that thing on?

I dont know how much welding will cost and where to get good second hand or even new (prefer second hand) oval mufflers in Melbourne.

Please help.

you have to get rid of that resonnator and stick in another muffler like the one i pictured...

just take it to an exhaust shop and they'll do it for you for a few hundred bucks - try Daalder in Box Hill or Dandenong.

Thanks for that mate.

What about fitting a smaller canon or an oval rear muffler? Would that be the same? Actually what would happen if I wahcked on my stock rear muffler at the back?

I want something for cheap lol

wow i didn't think xforce and quiet went in the same sentance... I have a stainless steel xforce turboback and it is very very loud. It has a hotdog style resonator, Ive been wanting to change it to an oval resonator or proper middle muffler but have been told it wont fit...

I went from a stock exhaust with twin motorbike looking cannons (ricey) to a x-force turbo back exhaust, and my exhaust man said it was too quiet. It is extremly quiet

My system sounds really good at the moment, it consists of an x-force 3" to twin 2" tip muffler at the rear, a mercury 3" slight offset straight through mid muffler and hiflow cat. Just to give you an idea the mid-muffler cost me $110 (muffler and labour) and reduced the exhaust noise heaps. Don't pay $375 seems very expensive.

i have noticed some xforce exhausts come with the oval style resonators and some with the hotdog like mine. my hotdog thing seriously musn't do anything cos its damn loud. Might look into geetting the xforce oval resonator or mid muffler seeing you guys seem to think its quiet.

Anyone dealt with "The Muffler Man"? They quoted me around $375 for the mid muffler to be added.

Sounds about right for a decent muffler.

You pay what you get for.

Some people would have a hernia if i told them how much more my mufflers cost (as it wasnt $375 i can assure you) :verymad:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
