Hey guys,

Not sure if I'm posting in the right topic but I need a little advice and guidance with wanting to replace my stock dual exhaust with a "cannon".

All I want to achieve is the cosmetic change with a different sounding note, sound a little bit meaner or not so stock.

Every time I ask mechanically minded friends they either just say get a wog cannon or get a super overpriced new exhaust system, extractors, catback but all I'm after for now is what I mentioned above as I'm focussing more on the engine side of things as opposed to expensive cosmetic stuff.

I was looking at this http://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/151744917951

How do I go about finding out if one of these is compatible with my 2000 R34 GT-T and then fitting it?

Any help or advice would be great

Go to exhaust shop.

You're so helpful Ben, have you read some of your older posts or any of your posts? You sound like someone who has got zero idea. But we know you do have an idea but aren't willing to reply with a sensible answer.

Why do you bother posting?

Any muffler can be cut welded and new hangers made. So any muffler you choose can be made to fit any car. Expect around $80 to have this done.

Pretty much, I'm new to Skylines and this forum in general but I've fancied Skylines since I was a kid and want to learn as much as I can, I look to this forum for that and am often chastised or given little to no help/advice or just smart remarks. If you have the knowledge, just share it, don't be a tool. Christ.

Thank you for that, all I could ask for. Not too keen on rolling into an exhaust shop not knowing what I'm talking about, so figured I'd get a rough idea here first.

The reason threads like this get such zero effort responses is due to the fact that it has been covered a million times.

If op searches Google and even YouTube then he will get everything his heart desires.

And just welding a canon is going to sound as poo as drilling a hole in your exhaust.

Where would he go to get that done?

If I didn't help he would still be puzzled.

Just food for thought for now mate, once I tick off the vital things I wanna do, I'll start making little modifications such as this and work my way up but the way it runs is definetely priority now.

What you should do, well what i did was go to the import wreckers and find a Jap catback system, it wont cost you much and you can install yourself... it will sound nice just like you want, if the muffler says JASMA then it wont draw unwanted attention when normal driving.. Later on you can change the rear muffler or whatever if you start making lots of power..

I would avoid exhaust shops because in my short experience with them all, they are wankers!!! They'll probably fit some shit parts, take the car for a good flogging and return it to you with the front bumper scratched plus a nice big bill... :spank:

Go to an exhaust shop and say you want a cannon muffler put on. They put those on civics and hyundais everyday of the week.

If you want something worthwhile, get a 3" catback

What's one of those worth roughly?

Just a rough idea, this will be my next upgrade after the Splitfires

Let me know how you go if you decide to go with just a new muffler. Currently in the same boat as you deciding whether to just get a new muffler for sound and looks or whether to get a full system (might do this down the track).

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
