I just went to a local exhaust place. Asked for one that had a nice note and flowed well. What they put on is absolutely perfect! :wink: Just go and have a chat to them, otherwise you can come and have a listen to my car next time you are up here and see if they'll sell you just the exhaust and you could get it fitted in brissy?

I wanted a 2" system on the 1360 (the 1.75 was too small with the RE282 cam for max power).
I crawled under the car with a tape, measured the pipe lengths, added 50mm to each and guessed the bend angles.
Went to Parramatta Exhausts and got the 2 pipes, 2" muffler, and a few clamps- total cost $145.
Took me about 30 mins to cut and fit, in the driveway at home. :D

the 1 7/8 pipe and single straight through muffler for my LS cost $140 and took less than 1 hour to make and fit by a local exhaust place

You can get any muffler you want so long as you can see through it. Straught through is what you want. Just a hot dog will be too loud IMO. I have a hot dog infront of a muffler on my 2"

If you buy a Lukey, or another brand with bursted peforations in the inner tube (not plain holes) fit it the right way round or you will lose BIG HP.
I found this out on Barney, the PO had fitted it arse about. :lol:
The perforation holes must be visible from the back, not the front... :wink:
