My mate has got a 2 1/2 inch cat back with cannons. It's loud but sounds very, very nice. It would have to be close the legal limit though.

I have cannons on 2 1/4" twin cats back, but with resonators in the middle.

Quiet at idle and cruising, but loud (probably still not illegal), and a very nice note, when under load.

Still deciding whether to take out the resonators to make it a little louder.

i know of a certain V8 soarer that was tested at 86db with headers, 3 inch cats 2 1/4 pipes and STOCK mufflers.

if you have exhaust work AND Cannons, it will be extremely illegal.

imagine driving around like that all day... bloody hoons!

If you like the style and want minimum resistance to flow then go for it! just remember to flange both the canons and your stock mufflers so you can switch betwwen teh two for special outings to the EPA

Ewww, Cannon style exhaust are the worst types Possible for a soarer - they look very cheap and have a blatty sound.

I Find it extremely sad to see a soarer with one or two of them, as it just totally ruins the rear look of the car!

Makes it just like every other cheaply modified Jap car around town.

Only oval box style mufflers look the best, and sound the best for that matter! With oval tips of course.

I was advised that too big a system on the end of a V8 means it loses low down torque, that some back pressure is actually a good thing -any comments?

Agreed also, for my older soarer I planed on a 2.5" dual system but discovered 2.25" dual was the best. Unfortuanetly never got around to it as I stupidly sold it.. (

Ian, I have 1x3" resonator up front at the join, 2 1/2" right up to 2x 'Mercury' oval mufflers at the rear. Nice sound, but a little too loud with open throttle so I have just had two more ovals fitted in between. Still has a great sound, but is much better when coming up the mountain where I live.

Hey Haydn,

I'm considering getting 2 of those twins you got in that pic there. How are they for sound, you have them on a 2.5TT yes?
I dont want it illegal, but i do want a little noise, as getting in the car and starting it doesn't get the blood pumping much with stocko mufflers :\ Not to mention you just get laughed at at the lights when you try and egg someone on :P

Also Im told the stockos flow crap.

they sound good dave! well on my car they do ,guess it depends what you have in front of the mufflers as well, there is two hotdogs as well on mine, make sure you modify the bar if you do cause it will look crap without doing it .
