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.

    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
    • It's either an ignition failure or a fuel failure.
    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around
