Canon Exhausts on Falcon's - Ford Forums

I'm shameless so feel free to abuse/make fun of me.

Anyways, is there any practical reasons why people don't put canon exhausts on Ford's/Holdens?

I need to get my cat back exhaust done (it's leaking :p) and I'm be shameless and admit I like rice and canons so I wouldn't mind one on my car.

It's gonna be 2.5" cat back mandrel bent, it's just whether the end is gonna be a canon or going through a resinator and dual 3" stainless steel tips.

I wanna go the canon just for something different. :)

So I suppose I'm asking, whats the difference between getting a canon and the normal exhaust? Is it the same?

personal opinion is to keep the exiting diameter the same as the rest of the xorst. im not a fan of falcon rice or milo tin tips so my thoughts may not count.

I'm not gonna get a milo tin, just I'd rather prefer a 4"/5" canon out the back than what everyone else which is dual 2.5" stainless steel tips.

all i can say is its your car and you have the right to do whatever you desire. if it was mine i wouldnt be attracting police attention to it though.
post some pics when its done.

Based on the fart cannon noise of a 4 cyl, I'd bet a fart cannon on a Falcon would be WAY over the legal db limit. Police bait for sure.

i think you might have clearance issues fitting it neatly under the car, and the twin 3 inch tips will require some of the rear bar to be notched.. And aren't the milo cans incorporated into a resonator?

Thanks for the replies.

I dont have my heart set on a canon, just a mere curiousity thing. Twin 3" tips out the back fit perfectly (so im told) under the TS50 Kit rear bar.

I just want her to sound nice and deep and loud, but without drone when I'm on the highway. Can anyone give me any recommendations?

mate dont get a cannon first off it willbe a bitch to fit in there,\

go and get a lukey 2 1/2 exhaust with the one big muffler in the middle ,it will be loud and it wont drone on the highway

I also think there wouldn't be enough room to get a cannon in there. My opinion of cannons... hate 'em. The sound and look is aweful in my mind, but each to their own.

Clearance is deffinatley gonna be the problem but it can be done, I've seen a Fairmont NL in Perth with one it actually sounded pretty good but I expect his was running a resonator aswell to cut down drone.

If you got the money get a full 2.5inch s/s system that would sound wicked.
