FTO AUSTRALIA

Yo, does a 3.5" muffler fit 97 FTO GX(sports package) which has twin cannon at the original standard? Do i need to change the whole exhaust system? Ummz.. I just want some really powerful sound.... ta!

Change the muffler if you want a powerful sound. You get more throttle response with that as well.

Yea? what u recom? just keep the original thingy? Ummz, I want it to sound nice but not to hurt the power... Im new to FTO, just imported it 2 weeks ago.... SOS

all depends on your current pipe size....u probably have a 2.5" exhaust atm. so 3.5 will fit but with some fittings..the type of muffler will get u the results u want no so much its inlet/outlet size.

If you're from VIC just go to 'On The Run Motorsports' and they'll probably hook you up with a redback muffler. They can also tune it so you get the meanest sound out of it.

But if you want an even better sound then just do the air intake and filter as well. Might as well look at the whole exhaust as well.

See it does start to add up $$$! But you get more power I guess.

You decide.......

Where did you get 2.5 from?

Standard would be a 2 inch exhaust.

Ummz, i think mine is 2 inch, double 2 inch mufflers. You only hear the sound when you drive in a quiet carpark....

Btw, I live in sydney. If someone see me in the street, gimme a Buzz! My number plate is TOMUCH ahahahah~~~~~

damn... TWIN CANNONS!! I want twin cannons Just love the look of it, only person I seen them with is kazbah and daaang it looks nice! I can't even imagine the look on my own face if I ever saw twin 3.5s..!

Lol, i think u missunderstood, the factory standard twin muffler is 2" each, im just trying to get a singel 3.5" for better sound..

ah, i get it, u just want the one for the sound

your choice, but my reason for gettin it would be, 90% cos of the extra power,
10% for the sound itself lol but hey that's me.

With mufflers, you can't make any power. You can lose power if you go to small but others, pick any muffler that fits your exhaust

do i change the whole exhaust system or just a muffler for better power?

I did the whole lot from front to back....

Replaced dodgy Lukey muffler..

Sounds and goes fantastic...

older mufflers can have too much baffle and restrict flow too much...as with the cat...best to get one that is less restrictive and has it happens this will give u more noise...

lol i know

I didnt realise she wanted to change the muffler only

I think she just wants the muffler.

I don't think she wants to pay $1 000+ on exhaust plus couple of hundred for a manifold.

Oh don't worry i'll definitely do that, or i'll buzz your mobile if i know what it is, look for a orange FTO and that's me

Well i would laugh for any N/A car have 3" exhaust or more ... i'm sure someone would have mention to you why not before

Why don't you just get a cat-back? Don't get Cannon cause it's way too loud, got defect for mine before ...
