[braddz93]

hey guys, sorry if this has already been covered but ive been on here for like 4 hours and havent found what i lookin for.

HOLDEN VT-VY SEDAN 2&1/2 inch BOLT ON EXHAUST SYSTEM - eBay Exhaust Systems, Exhausts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 23-Aug-10 21:51:30 AEST)

welll here we go. I bought this Lukey exhaust system (above) and im just waiting for it to come in, now im not the smartest when i comes to exhausts but this exhaust has one single muffler, true? what im wanted to get out of this is, what can i add to this system to get the best sound and performance out of it? like adding high-flow cats, or hotdogs?

really need to no so i can organise things so when it arives i can set it all up

cheers, Brad

Going to need some way for it to connect to the cat.

would you be able to show me a diagram of an exhaust system with all the resi's and shit in it? it f**kin confuses me lol

[braddz93]

with the hotdog, do you just cut out the rear resi and replace it with one?

That system only has one muffler.
I suggest getting it fitted at a shop as it will need to either be welded directly to or flanged to the back of the cat.
See if you like the sound (will take some time and a few heat cycles to break the muffler in anyway) then if you want to mellow it out, you can get a hotdog fitted at the rear later on.

HUH????

It has a flange and the correct bell flare to bolt straight to the cat.

The Lukey system is probably a bit quieter than most so it should sound pretty good as is. If you want to go louder, get a high flow cat and extractors. But performance wise, you won't notice much. A bit better acceleration and better highway economy.

Fitting a hotdog will only make it quieter as it is just a resonator.

I checked out that pic again and spotted the flare, all good.

The Lukey tri flow muffler should be all you need.

Yeah I didn't see the flare either, my bad.
