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).

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
