I think a nice tip looks good, especially when you can see that huge 3 iinch exhaust going under the rear axle. I have a Nismo 3 inch cat back with 4 inch tip which sounds good - maybe on the quiet side tho.

I think the quiet exhaust saved me a good ticket on one occasion as well as having tyres that dont squeal!

Three lane 70 km zone. me in left lane, van in middle lane and cop in righthand lane (I didnt know he was there). I decided to do a good launch and took off like a rocket. Next thing I look in the rear view to see a copper following nice and close as I turned off onto a 60km road. Needless to say they pulled me over -flashing lights and sirens in front of about 50 cars, asked me how fast I was going, admitted to the speed - didnt want to get caught lying. Quote from copper in falcon " you left us for dead at the lights mate"...lol... when was the last time a falcon kept up with a skyline which has done a 5K launch - especially when you didnt even know the car was revving for a launch!,

why were you speeding? 'sorry, just accelerated a little too hard', ' wont happen again sir' and got let off with a warning...

so quiet exhausts are not so bad...

I agree... Cannon mufflers are over-used these days on far too many lame cars.

I think cannons look great on certain cars, 200's, supra's, and some wrx's, but its pathetic to see a 4" cannon on festiva's etc.

I actually like twin cannons on skylines.

And for what it's worth... here's my exhaust.

dual tips

That looks really nice ... wouldn't mind replacing my cannon with something like that.

Where did you buy it?

why not chop the old zorst off at the diff and keep it there and put in a 4 inch titanium straight thru zorst in, ending before the diff

that way it looks like a heap of shit, but u will turn heads when people here the nice roar when u take off

uhuhuhuhuhuhuh

ya i've got an apexi "super megaphone" cat back exhuast,,, it is so quiet!!!

sometimes i can't even tell if the engine is running or not.  

but with a name like "super megaphone" you'd think otherwise!! haha

its a bit on the shiny side though,,,

That's what I have on mine!!! lol :thumbsup:

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.

I had a blitz BOV in my excel before i got the skyline :D but yeah i agree, putting stickers on a car thinking it'll give you that extra 23kw is so rice it's not funny :P.. it was much better in the excel to shock the shit out of people when you could actually beat them hehe..

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
