question about exhaust

[Ryan Mckd]

Hey guys i just got quoted for $210 for a 2.5in cat back with hotdog fitted. It's a lukey performance exhaust, just wondering if anyone has experience using lukey and know if it's good or should i keep looking for a shop that stocks redback brand?

[Emackulation]

Lukey is fine mate, and for $210 I woudnt complain. Go for it.

[Ryan Mckd]

ok sweet, thats the answer i was lookin for haha, cuz $210 is a bargaaaaiiiinnnnnn

[betts]

yea i had to pay 280 for my lukey. i think theyre great, and give a nice note

I'm getting a 2.5in cat back with a muffler and then hotdog at the end. My mate said it's gonna sound too soft because of the 2 mufflers and said i should jus get the muffler and no hotdog. Opinions please. and if som1 has a sound clip of a stock v6 vt with this exhaust please post.

Get the rear resinator (aka muffler) taken off and out of the equation. Get a 2.5" cat back ststem, which includes only the main first muffler, no need for the rear muffler (resonator).

Ok im gettin 2.5in catback with single muffler at the back instead of front to decrease the drone. Sound good?

[Emackulation]

I havnt herd of getting rid of the front muffler before, I dont think its "legal" either. Drone is Drone, its a concquence of getting a bigger exhaust and trying to get a louder sound.

[Ryan Mckd]

So get that rear muffler taken off and keep the front muffler and resinator is what your saying?

[Emackulation]

Im saying keep the front muffler, like everybody does. Then get rid of the rear one, the rear muffler is also known as the "resonator" due to its exhaust quieting properties.

2 1/2" pipe
single straight thru muffler
nothing on the ass end.

pacemaker extractors into
standard holden cat into

this will give you a deep solid note (for a 6)

standard exhasut manifold into
standard holden cat into
2 1/2" pipe
single straight thru muffler
hot dog or rear rezi on the ass end.

that has 3 mufflers..... commodores only have 2, one up front and one on the rear...

just take the resonator off (rear), usually makes them sound a little better but as someone said, if you want loud you'll get drone

If it is an auto, take the front muffler out and leave the rear on, otherwise it will drone. A manual, take the rear off. This is on a sports system, if you take out a muffler on the stock system, it sounds like crap.
