I currently have a canon muffler but, not a big fan of the noise it produces. So I decided to uses the Varex X force muffler with a remote volume.

I just want to know peoples opinion on a oval or a canon.

Question is would you use a canon even though its defect-able or use a oval muffler to stay out of trouble?

True once I install this muffler its silent so it wont matter but, sometimes the cops are just a**h***s so, just want to stay out of trouble. The main reason is a I drive my R34 GTT as a daily driver so want to keep the noise down especially if I want to have quiet drive.

In my eyes canons are the best looking things for a sports car but, they are the most eye catchy thing with a car especially with a cop behind you.

After your opinions I will order the exhaust, Thanks for any advice or assistance given.

There is no reason a proper muffler, cannot be legal, look stealth and be reasonably affordable.

Varex cost more, are still deflectable and I'm yet to hear one that gives a decent exhaust note.

I really can't see how they offer anything.

As for the tip, just have it the same size as the exhaust itself. If its 3", just a 3" tip.

This also helps reduce drone and noise.

Otherwise just go twin tip muffler looks much more factory if that's what you want.

iv got a fujitsubo oval muffler, sounds great, not tinny or farty in any way... from my experience an oval muffler does sound better... to me anyways. Cannons sound a bit tinny to me and not as clear as a oval muffler, it doesn't really muffle the sound if you know what i mean... lol

Get the biggest straight through muffler you can fit in the original muffler cavity and put a dump pipe on it. The dump pipe directs a lot of sound down at the ground making it sound more quiet if you stand behind it unlike cannons which blert out sound like a megaphone.

It's a good idea to get it tucked up in the original muffler cavity neatly beacause cops love nothing more than seeing a 3" exhaust hanging out on an angle at the back, lookng like it could almost scrape the ground.

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
