My New cannon!
« on: Sep 1, 2005, 04:58PM »
Hey, On thursday i bough Shams old cannon off kransy and had it installed for $80 inlcuding all parts.

Its really loud and i love it but am going to get a resinator to make it quieter in the future.

I have a question tho. WHen i start the car after i put the cannon when the car is cold it does its usual start when it drops to about 300rpm then go's up to 500rpm but after about 5-10seconds or whenever i put my foot on the accelerater and take it off the revs jump up and idol at 1500-1600rpm and stay like that untill the engine is warm. The car has never done that before and did it twice today. Is it normal? or is somthing wrong?

Another thing? Do mufflers themselves give u more proformace or is it just the right size piping?

its called "high idle" meant to warm up the car quicker by idling at a higher speed, this will cause less engine wear as during idle the engine is not under load.

a muffler might give you .1% of difference on our motors, on a high performance engine mufflers may make a difference but its the pipe size that matters.

Thirdly, your car WOULD NOT idle at 300rpm, that engine speed is insufficient to maintain the stroke cycle.
First a Silver TRX, then a White TRX...whats next? Game Boy-Clear style TRX?

Cannon looks pretty good.
Altho they should of lifted the tip of it up some more so its closer to the bumper.

Put it on for sound and looks not proformance. i couldnt afford the hole thing on yet and will hopfully get the hole thing done soon. And yes there is more chance of me getting chicks with the new muffler due to the fact that most chicks cant tell the difference and if they can they arent going to look under the car to tell.

i have pretty much the same cannon on my u12 and it works a treat. i think it sounds and feels like you have a power increase due to the larger exhaust, but in reality we still getting the same perfomance, its all in our heads! if u wanna pull the chicks fuk a cannon get a sti8 or someshit heh.

Once again sorry to be the asshole here, but this is somebody else's thread. Its ok if you post things in here regarding the persons car. But if you want to talk about your car start a new thread.

By the way, the exhaust setup sounds good.

go fart cannon! don't forget the engine braking sound when you pull it around a corner in 2nd. i only hope you aren't one of those 'big zorst' people that end up with less power due to oversized piping. Nice clean install mate. was it done by an exhaust shop?

Girlfriends TRX is an auto with a cannon on it. Here it is:


Its very loud but bit tinnyer than mine but hers is no-where near as powerful as my trx also u can tell from a mile off that it is an auto but hey, autos auto. But i would recommend a smaller quiter cannon so its not as ricy as a massive 1.

i'd suggest just gettin 2.25 for the cat back, probably chuck in a resi too so it doesn't get all raspy and tinny @ higher revs. then just finish it off with a nice tip.

i dunno about the tinny sound, but i just put in a 2.5" catback and it makes a real nice sound... opinions i get from other people is that it sounds good too, but i guess i don't have much to compare it to, except the ones off that short vid of trx's taking off, and rake's sr20det mufflerless exhaust... :)
