hey all, ive been doing a bit of research on here via the search function and talking to exhaust places about upping the db on my system, i have a 3" bell, hiflow cat, 3.5 inch catback with hotdog and fujitsubu jasma cannon, the exhaust sounds nice, but, is very quiet due to the jasma cannon, one of the exhaust places recommended xforce for a cannon because they have a 3.5" inlet version (which is what i need) and they are aparently head and shoulders above "Genie" which is what i asked them about to begin with. what do people think about the xforce cannons? who has one? what sort of note dose it give? how loud is it?

im a bit unsure about xforce, but a few people on sau have them and havnt had any issues, but yea, id like a jap brand one, but obviously theyre a lot harder to track down, id settle for an xforce one if they sound the part and are a bit louder than what i have now.

what you guys think?

edit, forgot to mention it was a stock turbo setup

i was under the impression the hotdog only takes away drone?

Nope, I had 2 hotdogs and they only took away the noise from the upper ranges. Idle and drone didn't change much, perhaps just got deeper.

Mate I've got a full 3" X-Force cannon system and apart from some fitment issues with the entire system (i.e. it didn't fit and has been back twice to get re-fitted properly!) it is still pretty good bang-for-buck.

The cannon muffler is a nice piece of stainless steel that looks and sounds the biz. I think they are about 93db when new which is loud enough to keep me happy but not so loud as to attract the wrong type of attention :rolleyes:

Their hi-flow cats are good value for low-mid range horse power applications too.

Bascially you can't go wrong for the money and it sounds way better than the jasma crap that was on there previously.

cool mate

im not looking at changing the whole system though, just the end cannon.

yes the jasma thingo inside the cannon isnt the greatest, not sure if it reduces flow but its smaller than the rest of my zorst

Not sure whether you knew but jasma is not a brand, it is a japanese standard for exhausts and a big part of that standard is the noise level so basically they are all pretty quiet and restrictive.

yep i know this, ive heard that the way they design the jasma zorsts dosent restrict flow? is this correct?

yeah i don't think there is too much of a performance hindrance, considering how many people have JASMA-rated systems.

RUFFLS had a back-to-back dyno run done recently with and without his catback exhaust (3.5" fujitsubo, JASMA stamped) and the difference was negligible, 2-3rwkw or so.

yea as i thought

but this isnt for the performance boost, just after some more loudness in the system thats all

Just remove the middle muffler/resonator, it'll be cheaper and you'll retain the decent muffler at the rear.

cannons look crap don't get one. You have a turbo car so most the drone and rasp will be muffled by the turbo anyway.

My HKS Hi Power Silent is JASMA stamped, and i dare say its not quiet, and its def not restrictive haha.

what do you guys think about just getting rid of the middle hotdog? because thats all thats there after the cat, just the hotdog then the cannon. what will that do for sound?

Yeah, it's probably worth giving it a go, rather than spending up on a complete system first. It won't cost much to get an exhaust shop to do it, so not really a big deal if it doesn't deliver the result you want.

My car is running 3" catback, with a single cannon at the end, and it's pretty loud.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
