So in other words, a cannon going on my 2.5" system whether it be 3" or 2.5" will make an insignificant difference in power, and just be there for looks. If thats the case I'd go with a 3"

Thanks for all the info guys, appreciate it. If you have anymore keep it coming, as I'm not getting it done til mid-week so still plenty of time to deliberate! :)

yes, after all the piping before the muffler, the size of the muffler means very little. 3" will be louder and probably more droney.

you also have to remember that the engine is only 2.5L so 2.5" would be the largest exhaust size you would want to go even with cams, etc unless it is a seriously cranky engine and is pretty much only a track car. much bigger engines cope with 2.5" exhausts as sports systems without any problems. i have seen dyno tests where people have compared a single 2.5" system to a twin 2.5" system on a 3.5L magna and there was pretty much no gain at high rpm, but the twin system had less low down power.

Got a 2.5" system, custom extractors from DKNE in NSW, HPC coated; hot dog muffler, resonator and a 3" cannon.

Now I'm waiting to get pulled up and defected because its loud as all hell.

All up it cost me

$850 - HPC coated extractors

$1000 - 2.5" system & cannon

$150 - Head gasket from nissan

Worth every cent I reckon :blink: I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
