lately Ive noticed that every freaking body has got huge cannon style mufflers, hanging out the back. Over the weekend, I saw a bunky Gemini with one, an Excel with hubcaps, a Daihatsu Applause, a Telstar, and then....the icing on the cake...A VP Commo...all with big, shiny cannons.

Problem is, Ive got one on my GTR, and Im now seriously thinking of changing to the no-nonsense style, 4" straight, plain black pipe, because the cannon simply has no more street cred left (imo).

Exhaust tips may not mean squat to some, but I rate it. Is anyone else getting tired of the sight of cannon styles everywhere?

Like most people here, I think that cannons look nice on most actual semi performance/performance cars - Skylines, Soarers, 300zx (dual cannon :rofl:), 180sx etc. They often sound terrible on excels/lancers etc they have that loud high pitched 'ring ding ring' noise to them.

i think cannons are awesome...but when you can see the whole muffler from the side, its ghey, or when you can see a puny pipe going into it, its ghey. i think that Phat cars, as in supras and 33's that are wider than most, should have big tips. a puny tip on a big car looks out of place. a 6" tip on a supra looks just right, coz the car is so big. i like my cannon, im not a fan of straight pipe, it just doesnt do it for me...that said, shiny cannons dont do it for me either. i leave mine sooty, so it doesnt stand out, but it fills the hole in the rear bar.

but you need a decent brand cannon to get a decent noise.

cheers

Wow, and i've been over Cannons since 2002. Looks like people are starting to catch on :P

I think drawing attention to your exhaust is asking for unnecessary cop attention. TBH I think (but dont know for sure) that the performance difference between a cannon and a 3" straight-through is marginal. Rice cannons do not seem to be good 'bang for your buck' in terms of performance vs cost. My neighbour has a WRX with a carbon fibre cannon that cost him 550 bucks alone.. I could get a full 3.5" straight-through system for about that money.

I'd be interested to hear otherwise.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
