Ok I'm sick of the Lukey bazooka its got on there now, so I'm gonna get it replaced. I had a coupla quotes and the best was 150 bux replacing the sys from the lukey muffler back, and welding in a resonator with a tip of my choice. He said it would be a bit louder, but not by much.

Is this true? Will this be ok to run with (1100 engine).. and will i need to get my carby re-needled?

Also, what size tip; i think a 2.5" rolled edge looks nice.

Do you want it louder or faster? :roll:

You seem to be doing a lot to your car to make sure everyone looks twice including the cops! :wink:

:shock: Havent got subs or tint yet... thats soon.
But fark the exhaust is something shocking... i just hate the look of it :o

Weeeeellll... who has some idea about mini exhausts... i want a nice note to it but not too loud, not too quiet.

Ive got Perry/Wildcat extractors (i believe they are the same thing) and a 1.75" pipe to the muffler. Would simply putting a straight thru sys with just rezy (like ive said) be WAAAY too loud?
And how much quieter would a muffler make it.
Would adding a resonator AND a muffler make it sound any different than just adding a muffler itself?

And they do last- mine is 10 years old now, not rusted out and still sounds sweet!
It's only a steel one- the S/S ones (RC50) must last forever. 8)
