Its too effn loud that it gave me a headache coming back from the exhaust shop. A xforce cannon with a 3 inch internal diameter. He said it would be louder than my previous jansai one but i didnt think it was gonna be this loud! The r32 even has a cat convertor and another resonator before the cannon and its doing my head in! what a waste of money!! do not buy these cannons for your own sake and everybody elses

Agreed, the bigger the muffler body, the better the sound absorption. Should have gone for an oval Xforce or Varex at a minimum. Resonators do fark all from my experience, mid mufflers are required, and the 4 inch thick Magnaflow offset muffler fits in there nicely with plenty of clearance.

The Japs are pretty good with their exhaust design, and if you find the right system such as the Fujitsubo Jasma exhaust, it will flow well and possibly pass a noise test. You need to watch for restriction pipes in the rear muffler on some systems as it's cheaper than simply designing a good muffler.

I've heard of many an X-Force muffler developing irritating frequencies that become unbearable > even headaches.

I once put an oval one with twin tips on my BMW 328ci - bad move! The drone was worst at Motorway speed - 110km/hr

You actually think there is any difference between an Xforce and Magnaflow muffler (or most other brands) internally Terry? No point blaming the brand imo, just the design and size.

An offset muffler is going to do a better job of dropping decibels than a straight through.

I like my twin tips,nice and quiet putting around town but when you open her up on the freeway a lovely angry roar. :-)

You too Huh? I took my Blitz Nur canon off and put a 3" Magnaflow Straight thru muffler with a twin tip on.

Love it. (too old for Canons)

Droneless but nasty at WOT. :woot:

you think skyline cannons are noisy and drony?

i just bought a forrester turbo (cheap) and its got a cannon on it, sounds like a wet fart through a megaphone in an amphitheater. its a horrible noise.

needless to say as soon as the budget allows it'll be getting a far quieter system

It certainly is olly,had a custom exhaust and the three inch tips made ten years ago, sounds fantastic and looks factory. :-)

Also, if your car is a natro then yes it will be loud with a 3" cannon. In fact it will be loud with any 3" muffler. Go back to a smaller muffler (or complete system if you went 3" all the way) and it will be much quieter

Jap exhausts dangle too low its another reason for locally made, I have no probs with scraping over bumps and besides skylines come with twin tips from the factory, good enough for me to steer cleer of Milo tins. Never had a defect in my twelve years of skyline love. :-) :-) :-)

Pfft well woopty do its not all about brands but what it looks and sounds like, plus I happen to know a major police factor is a Milo can tip, have been told so by hwp at many rbt stations,I drive thirty thousand plus a year for work from qld to Tassie no defects,keep it sneaky is my motto. :-)

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
