Tired of Cannons

[gun-r32]

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?

I dont mind a cannon if the car sounds nice. I cant stand them on shitty cars.

A nice classy looking end muffler/tip cannon thing made by a decent brand looks good.

An angled rps on a 1.5 soch civic is just gay.

[**JaR**]

agreed, cannons look good... only if on the right cars i.e our skylines, and other cars like em, ive noticed everyone has cannons as well.... shits me 2 tears when u see crap like excels and commys with em.... my icing on the cake but, in true ricer style i seen this dude crusin down sydey road ( melb. ) one time in a ford festiva, with cannon, shitty dragon graphics on the side and "trust, blitz, khs, trial and nismo ( yes you heard me.... nismo stickers on a ford ) " down the doors, are some people really that dumb? do they have any sense? are they even aware those companies dont even make parts for those cars? .....

obviously not.

Cannon mufflers look nasty. Shiny 7inch chrome cannons belong on civic’s.

Straight through pipe is were it’s at, and doesn’t scream look at me.. Although is a little loud.

Crap pic of my R32, but you get the idea.

[[[d a n n y]]]

hm..

cannons may look nice on some cars

but too loud for my liking

i love my Fujitsubo oval muffler

[**JaR**]

yeah i have a 3" straight through with 3.5" tip on my 33 gts-t, it does draw attention due to the loud factor but lol, but not the wrong attention ( cops ), good attention, like hot chicks walkin down the street

[RedEmblem]

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

[**JaR**]

hahaha ring ding ding.... like the crazy frog rigntone thing

[sammus]

[R31 POWER]

Go the cannon

[**JaR**]

go the straight pipe!

totally off topic dude, but i like the rims that are on your 'line.... can i borrow them?? lol, but yeah nah if you dont mind me askin where can i gets me some?? coz i reckon they'd look hot on my car ( its the maroon color, it used to have white rims, but they had like 2% tread, so they got taken off, now i gots stocker rims, and i want white ones back lol )

agreed with the straight pipe but, straight pipin' all the way

[wilch]

[(B1) MR_fanny]

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

Subtle twin 3" tips for me

love the burble

:werd:

getting sick to death of cannons, go the straight pipe

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

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.
