I'm thinking of replacing the rear muffler on my VRX with a SpeedBomber cannon muffler cause they're drop-dead-gorgeous, but I'm worryed about the note being to loud, or getting that gay rattle noise Lancers & excels always seem to have.
Is the front muffler restrictive enuff to warrant replacement? What can I replace it with to keep the car quite with the cannon muffler? I want the look, just not the noise.
Here's the one I want.. It should be just the right size to fit the VRX exhaust cutout with its 4.5" tip.

hmm,
it's great looking exhaust, it will be loud just by the looks of it, if you want the benefits from this exhaust, you should get rid of the inter-mufflers.

if you don't want performance, just looks, then i guess no harm in leaving the intermediate mufflers, but it may sound really sh#tty. you better try before you decide.

another thing to note, my personal opinion only, if you have the looks, but it doesn't give the right sound, most ppl will laugh.

I was under the impression that the rear muffler on the Sports/VRX was quite good performance wise. Would there be any power increase from changing it?

how u doin
i drive a 91 TR 2.6

if i woz u, i'd chuck it on,
ur VRX (mad car btw) is running on a V6 which wont make a lot of noice compared to my V4
the smaller the engine the louder its gonna be if u didn't know already
i got a autotechnica 2.5" pipe with 4" tip and its 2 1/4" all way through with nth but a cat and a restrictor up front and it not loud enough to my liking
i'm pretty sure it wont be as loud is u think its gonna be
its will only give off a low grunt
also, a lot of pipes now (1'z that cost approx $250+) come with silencers, buy 1 with a silencer in case it is too loud

also, by looking at ur pipe/cannon, it has at least a 1" baffel which will restrict some of the sound

rumor says thay changeing ur rear mufflers down to pipe give u 5% more power

as for the rattleing sound.... i really don't know.... but my car doesn't make n e rattles of n e sort, but my tr compared to ur VRX is a total diff story

if u really want to test for noice,, just buy it, take it down to ur exhasut fitter, get them to saw off ur muffler, slip on ur pipe and give it a few revs. if u dont like it, just take it back and get a refund, if u like it, weld it on, dont pay more then $20 to get it tested, and no more then $50 to get it fitted

if u really want it to look good, buy a pipe with a much shorter tip, so ur pipe hangs out and every1 can see..
i'll post my pic



if all goes bad, just put a phat chrome tip for $30, thats if u really want just the looks ;)

hope all my blabbin makes sence (dont proof read)
hope i help, lata'z

Likewise for V6/I6, V8/I8 (I = inline = straight).

don't bother, the rear muffler on the vrx dos'nt do much.
if it's looks your after go for it,for extra power invest in a set of
headers.

and then when you get lotsa cylinders you get W as well ;)

Yeah - i wouldn't go the cannon - but thats me!!

Hey Red VRX - 14.9 down the 1/4 - not bad - what was the Speed at the end??

If you think it is to loud go and through a hot dog on that shuts it up a bit, and for the rattle, i had the same problem. i changed the bit of flex pipe before the catlic and ot went away

Looks is pretty much all I'm after for the muffler, & maybe a LITTLE bit of a growl.. way I figure, It shouldn't make too much diff. with the front muffler still there, considering the VRX muffler is practically 2.5' straight through with a slight kink anyway.

As for performance, I intend to get headers anyways. I was mainly wondering about the flow of the factory cat & front muffler

don't know, could de the timing equip used or something. i'll try to get

Oh, well. Good stuff. Keep the good times rolling. There's a thread in the Members Lound to post timeslips.

I have a redback straight through muffler fitted to my TE and it sounds pretty awesome. You can just hear it at idle, and you can hear it under accel and then after that, only when you put the engine under load. Sounds like a VRX actually. :)

It DOESNT work. redvrx is a lying SOB. I am a fordforum member and was attending the heathcote meet. I was curious myself as to what rexvrx's best time was so I asked him. Remember me redvrx? You said 14.9, and when i asked to see your slip you didn't have it! Ohh that's right, you were looking at the 0-60ft! Your best time was 15.9 and that was against a Te50, which you did beat on that run, but he had traction problems and his best time was 14.2. So don't go around saying you put xr6's and xr8's in thier place, becasue it's quite the contarary son, I just put YOU in YOUR place!

And if you don't beleive me, If you really want proof, I'll provide you with a link to the Official Fordforums heathcote results. Here you will see what a vrx can really do!

As another witness I'd just to confirm Cobra's version of events! The VRX had a slip for 15.9 and for the most part seemed to be doing 16's. Owned!!!

its cool - so REDVRX is a little quick off the mark on his 1/4 mile slips - but to prove to you that not all magnas are slow - compare this time slip (mine) to some of your XR8's then tell me some magnas wont put shame to your fords ;)

14.88 wow! Thats impressive, NOT! Since an EA 5 speed with exhaust and cam will run 14.6sec at the same strip...

BTW - XR8's are slow as piss, all you need is six cylinders or a turbo...

Its a calsic really why some people would lie about times, now i carnt wait to see this persons reply!

Actually here is one of his times on the right 113

I hate that we have to go to so much trouble to show someone is FOS.
The time slip above is from me against REDVRX... looks like he got some competition there doesn't it? He beat me 1st time due to traction issues but then you see the above time slip.

He make a tool of himself the entire day and sure as hell won't be invited again .. not because he beat us and showed up all up ( as he plainly DIDN'T ) but because of the crap he has spread since then... oh, and having been warned twice about his driving on the return road.. a star ambassador for your foums .. not

If someone lied on our forums I would expect to be told about it.

ok ok!!

lets all just drop this now..

there is no need to continue!!! this is just unnessary!!!

bah!! drop it, all parties conserned!! lets play nice if we want to play at all. :x

aaahahaha! its the attack of the bored threatened ford drivers with way to much to prove!!!!! god damn it! who gives a flying ****! so what if he made a mistake/lied/whatever. get over it! and this is coming from a true life long blue blood to. you guys have just shown yourselves to be way bigger losers than redvrx ever will be even if he did lie! this thread should really be deleted.

lol @ you guys .. doesn't even bother you that he is full of shit.
Fine, go back to your world of cannon zorsts and pod filters and fully sik 14.9 1/4s in some parallel universe.
Unfortunately the decent guys amongst you get tarred with the same brush.
Delete this thread by all means ..

im sorry but i am not going to show any magna biased here.
Lying about time slips is a ***in disgrace!

but did it really need all u ford guys coming here to tell us. As soon as REDVRX posted his time and speed straight away it was questioned because the terminal speed and time didnt match up. If he couldnt produce a time slip.....then i am sure we could of put 2 and 2 together :roll:

and about that EA with the cam, im sure a manual 3.5L with a cam could challenge that time :)

GO HOLDEN!

Cobra, Pigdog, Oh My and xr8_2.

Thanks for sorting that. Glad to see a timeslip. Most of us here are only interested in documented drag times through independant testing, i.e. a drag strip.

For the record, some of us can't stand cannon mufflers so please don't generalise us as rice boy material. Also, a 14.8 is impressive for that car. Just remember that it's missing half a litre of torque and doesn't have the advantage of RWD when launching hard.

AM members, no need to start / continue bagging these guys. Each to their own. We've got at least one friendly Ford man here. Nothing to say these guys are idiots.

hey!! i didnt start flaming!!

i asked for peace and unity between us!!!

man i want a BA XR8 mmmmm.. xr8... 8)

ok - so ean EF with a cam will run a 14.6 - let me put a cam in mine and see what she can do - look i aint saying you cant get fast fords - cos I know you can - i have been in them - raced them and seen them race - this aint about that - this is about some one being FOS - yeah ok - it is nice to know that they are FOS and maybe it will make me think twice about what they have to say in future

Also - i believe you are all correct in that if he was invited - and he then did break the ruls on the return journey that there should be some form of punishment - but that is not up to us that is up to you - as for a great embassodor - REDVRX has only posted less than a dozen times - he is a newby and by that measure will not get noticed until he / she starts contributing - more regularly.

Anyway - thank you for sorting the B/S out - and yes we agree that if there is B/S floating around it is nice to get it straightened out - but please - if we see something about a ford person then have half a dozen ppl come onto your ford forums to start bagging fords?? well - now you can understand the frustration here

again - thank you for clearing the air and the B/S and lets leave it at that??

you like fords - we like magnas - actually i like anything with a decent perforamnce value - but hey - this is what i drive and i am happy with it

cheers

We are not threatened. I just wanted to bring to the attention of everyone here that a stock VRX will run high 15's, not high 14's. A 15.9 for a stock magna is impressive, considering the FWD and all. I also have alot of respect for the AWD magna. I have driven one and they do handle supurbly.

But to my point, and that is that I don't mind if he did beat us. I dont care if my stock AU1 XR8 isnt as quick as a modified Magna from one of the members on this forum. I DONT GIVE A FLYING F**K, you are right. But what irritates me is that he DIDN'T beat us, yet he claims he did. But as said above, I didn't just join to put redvrx in his place, I joined to clear some things up which was an obviois discrepency between his terminal speed and time at the end of the quarter.

As for you beeing a life long blue blood, I'm sorry but I don't think you are. If you had any blue blood streeming through you, you wouldn't even contemplate going to a FWD 4 cylinder/V6.

Ohh and one more thing, we aren't the losers. I have proven that a member on your forums is a loser, and I could very easily prove that about you aswell. Want a starting point? Just look at your signature!

Manual

I personally dont care what anyone drives on here, so long as it's all kept civil.

I love many many cars from all manufacturers (yes even ford and holden! lol) And I totally understand that the Magna is not perceived as a performance car and probably wont be for a very long time (especially with the abomonation that is the TL).

But yeah, mutual respect would be nice :D

And thanks for rectifying the issue with redvrx. It's nice to know the truth, and to be honest I thought his time was suspiciously quick.

I just don't understand redvrx's reasoning. There were far slower cars than his on the day and I actually thought the 15.9 was pretty good (for a magna;). It was a very hot day and all the cars were a few tenths slower than normal. He could have been happy with what it ran but instead he had to come on here and BS about running a 14.9 and showing up cars that actually ran quicker than him all day. The TE50 ran a 14.2 that day compared to his 15.9; wow really showed him huh.

Next time mate just tell your MUM you ran a 14 I'm sure she'll believe you :)

Hang on guys. I think thats enough flaming.
All I said was that I beat a few XR6es and the TE50 at the fordforums
drag meet. This is a fact.

I didn't say I had the fastest car or the faster 1/4 time.

I had great day and spoke to a bunch of great guys on that day.

FYI.
My 14.9 pb was done at Calder and not on that day at Heathcote.

I remember you Cobra, you're the one whose eyes popped out of his head when I poped the bonnet, and once again... NO my engine is not heavily modified as you claimed. The reason my engine looks different is because its mounted horizontally due to it being a front wheel drive vehacle.

I have owned moded fords in the past any of which would have beaten you on that day. I now drive a Magna because I will never own a commadore and I didn't like the current falcon(AU) at the time.

Maybe I should have brought my bike along and wipped all of your asses.

NO you didn't open the Bonnet when I was there, it was allready open. What were you looking for? That extra second? What are you insinuating that I dont know that a magna's a transversly mounted v6? Riiiiight....

Well on the day you seemed to be confused when you looked at my engine.

Do you have the timeslip for this 14.9 run at calder?

Not flaming or anything, but I personally dont like seeing claims without proof, and I'm sure most others are the same.

If possible could you post it up as I'd really like to see it validated :D

I wasn't confused, I was sceptical. You are the confused one mate, you couldn't read your time slip properly. You told me you got 14.9 ON THAT DAY. And you were saying on here you ran with us FF boys and got a 14.9 Aswell ON THAT DAY. Don't deny it.

I think I have said enough. My point has been proven so I will leave it at that.

I didn't mention my 1/4 mile time.
All I said was that I beat a few fords.

On that day I told you that my personal best was a 14.9.
That is my PB. I didn't get that time on that particular day.

The time on that day was the 15.9 that I showed you.

**edited**

When you ran this 14.9, was your car stock?

And the car was stock?

NO.

Care to calm down and elaborate?

What mods did you have?

Don't like questions???
:roll:

To the Ford guests here on this forum, all I can say I am embarrassed about the flaming you have had here. This is in my opinion not acceptable in any way.

Redvrx, first you make it sound like you have a one off stock Magna then it happened somewhere else then it was 2 years ago?????

These guys have proven that a/ they are a decent mob, were happy to have you attend one of their meets and did not care what car you had, or if you beat them which you did not so stop with the trouble.

magwgn, we have not seen eye to eye because of a simple little joke I made, well I am even less impressed with how you bagged these guys because they are ford people. They after all have the figures on their forum. What do you expect when someone gets into a bunch of enthusiasts and bags everything they stand for. I give these guys credit for not knocking his block off.

All people like different cars, houses, jobs, hobbies, there is nothing wrong with that and I do not want these forums turning into a slinging match between different car clubs, remember Fords were around long time before the Mitsubishi was.

I am not going to lock or delete this thread at this stage as I feel the Ford guys have the right of reply here however I will also not tollerate any more of this flaming of others just because of what they choose to drive. If someone is having a go at us we will cut the down in an instant however we will not be the instigators.

Please lets keep building the good reputation we in Vic are gathering with the Media, the Police, the Public and the other car clubs. Car clubs in general have a hard enough time as it is without all fighting each other.

I am calm.
The only mods I had was a cold air intake, a pipe through the cat, advanced timing and avgas.

What did you have to do to make it run safely on avgas?

You dont just pour that in the tank lol

Also how did you advance the timing? From what I've seen the timing on the later models cant be adjusted by just turning the distributor, so do you have some sort of aftermarket ecu as well?

I never made any outrages claims.
Yes I was a guest at the fordforums drag meet and I did beat a few XR's
I think the confusion here is that cobra claimed that my 14.9 PB was on that day, which it wasn't and I never said it was.

I will scan and post all my slips from the Heathcote meet aswell as info on the cars I ran against.

Just give me a few minutes...

even if you "did" bullshit vrx not saying you did but hell is there the need to flame each other? if so then why the hell are we here.... we here to communicate about our enjoyment of our vehicles, some of us make mistakes but some people make those small / medium sized mistakes into something alot larger than they should be blown up to.

how bout we all take our heads out of our ass's and realise everyone has a love of different cars.... i personally am not a ford / holden person BUT i respect the XR6's XR8's and SS's..... thier owners spend a fortune buying / modifying wonder machines as do we with our magnas.

A little bit of respect goes a long way....

also forgiveness...... i say again tho there is NO NEED to deliberately set out to flames someone and make them feel bad.

my 2 cents worth.

What a pain it is scanning these slips in.
I have scanned in my best run for the day.

My number was 113.

Hi,

I am getting an exhaust soon 2....Ive seen a few magnas around with exhausts.... I have seen that they are all V6's yet they sound different. Some have a rattly crappy sound, but one i remember in particular had a deep humming sound that sounded awesome....How do you know which one to choose! I want that deep sound not rattly one but dont wanna spend alot. Can you try before u buy?

NO man stay, you got a VRX....thats cool 8)

dont worry aRDEi im still here with ma vrx lol and im sure cyber vrx will still be around :P

look if you were lying and trying to show off then **** ya leave you got like 17 posts and judging the book by its cover generally speaks wonders in regard to personalities. however if you were correct then stick around perhaps you will get to know others better.

It would be nice to get booya, mitsu man, and maybe a single turbo magna out there to see how they stack up esp seeing most of the magnas would be 10s of thousands cheaper than those p utes and xr6 turbo cars.

tho ive always had my spot for fords ever since i grew up with a xd falcon v6 sports pak worked wonders and made many vic trips pass rather quickly

Mine is deep and not 'rattly'
I just said to the exhaust dude "i DO NOT want that tinny sound" he did as i asked and it is definately deep! (I think maybe a bit too loud :) )

me too but at the moment i would rather buy a new tl exec with leather accessories , mag it , lower it, debadge it, twin turbo it.

stock tl 33g + 2g for tyres/mags + 3g lowerin/tint/radio + 12gturbo = 50g

new xr6 turbo = 46g take ur pic i know ive seen a quite a few xr6 turbs and well i havent seen many new xr6 killing tls

thi i might spend another 500 bucks gettin some nice light covers to make them look better.

I think anyone with half an idea would know that the only way an 85mph car is going to do a 14 is if you push it off a 400m cliff!!

u will be sorely mistaken buddy. how bout you do a search for some time sheets of our own :)

common mitsiman post that 12.88

I had respect for ford performance people before this episode, not anymore, they have proven to be bogans yet again, redvrx has shown the timeslip of his 14.9 pass, so let it drop boys.


Why on earth did they come on here to try an prove themselves superior???

What, do they think just one type of car is fast???

People, you can make anything go fast, it is all about the money, all you need is the dosh and you can make anything go fast.

As Dave has shown with his twin turbo magna, which I am sure would piss on alot of fords, so what though, he spent the money to make it fast, anyone can do that, just takes MONEY!!!

Redvrx,
You do not have to go anywhere so long as you accept it when people question a claim that you make.
You have shown the slips, there will be another chance at heathcote in 3 weeks time to show us while we are all there.
No one said you need the fastest car, if you like what you have that should be enough.

I would not be too sure on that, I have alot of respect for the Ford guys and the Ford Forums (which just happens to be one of the biggest forums in Australia)

The MPH stated proves that 14.9 time was not run. (and the time slip could be anyones, whos to say he was not the slower car? Ever been to heathcote? All you do is walk up to the control box and just grab any old time slip)

Ask people like manual and EVLMAG how many mods they had to do to there car before it would brake into the 14's. Stock VRX will not cut a 14.9. (and mind you the time slips displayed show this guy really can't drive too well seeing nick (2much) and myslef can pull consistant mid 15's out of stock (bar cat back exhust) 3.0lt magna)

If you shoot your mouth off, you will get caught out sooner or later.

Thanks goes out to the boys at Ford Forums for pointing out the BS.

what! now i'm being acused of stealing time slips.if u checked the time slips properly you will see that the date, times am\pm and track temp are all legit.also if u looked at the ford forum site i listed u will see my car number alocated to me on that day,which was 113. once again 14.9 is my personal best.i never claimed to do it on thet day.it was done back in 2001 after my car was run in at calder park.since then my car has done 67000 plus km.also it was a hot day so my times didn't improve much, if you look at the slips the temp is recorded.for the record ASH 3 my car is a modified 2001 tj magna vrx 3.5lt.not a stock 3lt as u claim!! thanks for the drag day invite but i won't be there cause i can't afford to hire body guards to protect me.
i'm outta here,ciao

I'm not saying you have a 3.0lt, everyone knows the VRX only came out in the 3.5,all I'm saying is the time slips that you have posted show some pretty slow times for the car you drive, then gave you a comparison with my car and nicks car.

The time temp and everything else can say what it wants mate, as I stated, you can walk up to the control box at heathcote and grab whatever time slip you want.

And as for your mods, them seem to be about as true as your times mate. NOS and advanced timing with no other mods (let alone a after market ECU) yer ok mate :roll:

did u bother to look at the ford forums site and see my results? do u understand the concept of personal best? once again the 14.9 was done back in 2001 when the car was new. the slips i posted was done in 2004 if u bothered to read the date u can see that. you can't expect a three year old car with 67000km plus to pull the same times,as it did back in 2001 when it was new!!! and i didn't claim to have nos.u can all say what u want i stand by my car and times.if u don't understand what i've posted get someone else to explain it to you!!!!

What ever mate, your a lost cause. :roll:

If a 3.0lt magna (which mind you is over 5 years old) can run better times than a 3 year old 3.5lt VRX, at the same track with very simmler weather conditions, I'd say there would be an issue.

Plus, your going to blame 1 sec on the age of the car?

1 sec is alot of time on the 1/4 mile.

post the slips on this 3lt magna your giong on about,or do u have to duck down to heathcote park and knock off some ouick time slips.yes i blame the age of the car for the recent times,it's called wear and tear!an amc rep should understand that!
screw this i'm gunna buy a nissan patrol and go bush!!!!!
write whateva u want i don't give a !#*%

Great, fantastic!





























(p.s - I like ice cream)

Mate some of those times are pretty (slow.... 16.9@70MPH is NOT FAST)

Mate my 3L te has run faster times at heathcote. I have slips, but i believe there is no need to post them here, as ASh and Ben and numerous ppl where there when i ran,

Mate? a VRX (red being the fast ones) should be running times better then that unless you have your foot on the brake at the same time

Are you sure your driving a VRX or do you have a 2.6L carby TM executive???? :roll:

RedVRX, I and many can attest for the times that Ash and a few others can post, as for going bush, sounds like the best idea as we do not welcome people who can not take criticism.
You posted a claim, you then are not able to attest to it, these dodgy slips you posted do not even signify which car you are.
If you were willing to sit back, make a comment and then cop it on the shoulder if anyone disagreed with you, then you would be welcome.
This is clearly not the case so I think it is time to take yourself up on your first offer mate.
BTW people like you have no place advising the Reps how to conduct them selves.

This thread will now be locked. If anyone has anything constructive to add I am happy to, PM me.

I will not delete the posts as I think we can all learn a thing or two here.

As per MadMagnas comments please keep the flammining to a minimum, and if dont waste members time reading bullshit that can not be proven :!:
