Hey all, i am going to get some exhaust work done on my 95 ef. I need to get the middle muffler replaced anyway because it is starting to rust through so i thought that i would go ahead and do the rest of the exhaust.
I am looking for a nice sounding loud exhaust, So is just replacing it from the muffler a good idea or would i wont to do it befor or after cat? also i am not to sure what to get on the back whether i would get just straight through pipe or a hot dog or just a normal resonator remembering i wont a nice sound. And i dont wont to spend to much money |

Lukey mufflers are good, and IIRC not too expensive.

Ask for a 2.5" Lukey sports system. You'll be given a choice if you want a resonator after the muffler or not, depending on the sound you want. Basically, the muffler place will replace your system from (after) the cat converter down. I had a lukey system with the big muffler and a small resonator...didn't want it to be too loud. I think it was $300 all up including a big oval chrome tip. Best is to ask around mate, it'll give you light.

I got a redback(spelling?) system put in. Just the one muffler no resonator, its not overly loud at all. Very nice engine note between 2000 and 3000rpm.
Cost $280 without tip.(tip extra $20) |

It's legal to have no mufflers, so long as the noise is below the requirement and you have your cat converter. It's just the sound that matters. I wouldn'tbother just replacing the muffler on the stock system, replace the piping too. |

Yea thats what i was saying because i HAVE to replace my muffler as it is rusting through i am going to do the whole back system. So i am thinking maby a lukey system with 2.5" pipe and 1 muffler i am going to pop into the local exhaust place tommorow and see what they think.

Ive got a Lukey Race muffler on my exhaust system and it sounds bloody wicked. Ive had it for a while now so the sound is really starting to come alive
 Does get a touch loud at times dueto having only the one muffler plus a Hi-flow cat but its not as bad as the engine growling believe me. 
I would also recommend redback, dynomax and Magnaflow as they are all good quality sports exhaust specialist.

yeah definitly go cat back system as opposed to replacing mufflers n s**t.
i got stainless steel 2.5 custom build with lukey stright through muffler. its sick.. then later on if ya want to you can do a high flow cat and xtractors for real sound and performance.. try without a hotdog, it will be loud, but you can always put one in later if its too much. lukey or redback prebuilt systems are good, not too expensive either.

I was just wondering if the Race Mufflers, being the top of the range, were Stainless only or if the option was still there. |

I was thinking of replacing my exhaust, had a quote for $2000. For 3/4inch pacemakers, twin high flow cats, high flow mufflers and a redback 2.5inch system. It's the second quote for $2000, anyone got a better quote for a similar system?

I'd be guessing that for a V8, head to the V8 Workshop and ask there, it sounds high to me, but what would I know onlyever done it to a 6 cylinder! |
