| Post subject: | exhaust muffler |
Quick question. Got a price on a new exhaust today. Ok cool with the prices but everyone says go rc40. now the guy from cortis exhaust said he can fit a straight through muffler if i want instead. Now is this going to be in my favour having less resistance in the muffler??? I know i should stick to 1.75 pipe for max performance. p.s. its a mk2 cooper s mildly worked. unit |

Okay well i've had 7 exhausts on minis. And my favourite has to be the Lukey "performance" muffler. Its similar size to the RC40 and is just a resonator. Awesome, crisp note. Thats my recommendation. RC40 is expensive for a "generic" muffler, and wank value too. |

the straight through type will give maximum HP, and also sound much louder.. my favourite was the Lukey straighthrough race muffler, sounded race on my old deluxe.. i wonder if it still has it on there. i paid like 50 bucks for it too, but now i don't know where to get them from, as kev at minitech now sells something else..

RC-40 will give you better HP over the single box - all things being the same. Believe it or not, the twin box RC-40 gives better hp figures than the single one. Prices for the RC-40 are around the $185 and without the connecting pipe. I like my lukey - easy to fit and sounds good. good at spraying sooty water all over cars parking too close to me...lol Hooroo Rob Forsyth Miniot!! |

Single box RC40 on my 1285 sounds pretty boring. Depends on if you want a nice raspy sound I guess. |

I've got an RC40 twin box on my van, sounds ok but nothing exceptional. By contrast I had a Lukey on the Cooper S and with the Brownriggs this sounded sensational, though a lot louder than the RC 40. |

You talking about the JunBLs mate 
Theyre nice. But look very out of place on some cars. It seems that Lukey is getting a lot of business by us mini blokes!

Might be time for a comeback of the old copper pipe with Coke can on end.. we had this on the baby Austin 7 paddock basher, and it sounded lovely!!
