will a cannon give me the suby rumble?
will a cannon give me the suby rumble?
I know there is plenty of threads on this subject but bare with me. Today i was looking under my brumby when i realised it actually has a 2 inch pipe after the headers, down to just before the rear muffler when it goes down to about 1.75 inch with a long hotdog. I was wondering if I put a cannon on the end of the 2 inch pipe will it make it sound like a wrx?
Not exactly like a rex but most people that don't know much about subies won't be able to tell the difference.ChPLAT wrote:Makes it sound awesome as most boxers do but yeah not quite like a rex in my opinion.
I got it done to mine from a place called Streamline Exhaust (mainly because I didn't have a welder etc etc).
I got a 2" straight pipe to the back (No catalytic converter, EPA laws are almost non existent in SA) with a stainless steel cannon for $180 installed.
Worth every penny, the car sounds mean now.

You could put a 3" oval, straight through muffler on in place of the cannon and get similar results, without the wankyness of a cannon.
Remember that the shorter the tailpipe after the muffler, the deeper the note

Don't I know this I took the end of the muffler off on a wash out out bush and it sounded awesome The biggest problem was It didn't have the power to back it up!Suparoo wrote:Remember that the shorter the tailpipe after the muffler, the deeper the note

my brumby has what you mentioned with a 2 inch pipe but has a 1.75 inch pipe just before the rear muffler and what i'm guessing is a stock oval muffler. Which is better in terms or performance, sound and cost, a 5 inch cannon tip or a straight through/high flow muffler?
thanks

Tip ftw. It's gotta be chrome though.kona480 wrote: my brumby has what you mentioned with a 2 inch pipe but has a 1.75 inch pipe just before the rear muffler and what i'm guessing is a stock oval muffler.

bigger cannon and pipe that it is attached to the louder the noise.
e.g. i run a 3" system on my rex including dump pipe with a 4" oval muffler and its pretty loud so i am told. and its a top quality Butler exhaust system, not cheap
If i changed it from the diff back and bolted on a 2.5" pipe with a 3" oval muffler it would be quieter, maybe little power loss.
But with an N/A car power really doesnt come into play with exhaust.
I had a cannon on my old L series from diff back, embarrasingly loud, was about 4"
would never do again imo.
muffler ftw!

I've got an ea82 with a 2 1/4 inch exhaust with a hotdog and i've had both a 3 1/2 cannon and a high flow muffler.
With the cannon it sounded hell tough doing 60 in fifth and was really great fun when when you nail it, but i like that sort of thing, now i'm using the muffler to stay legal.
Imo, yes it does, but it's all taste
Cheers sam

A 2" straight thru system with a normal shaped but straight thru muffler sounds a treat in my opinion.
