Impression on Lukey Muffler???
I am interested in getting a Lukey Muffler for my astina (2000, 1.6L auto) to boost a bit power and have a nice note. I want it be reasonably quiet... Any lukey mufflers out there can be fitted???

I've been considering a Lukey too, they seem like good value.

You wont get any "boosted" power from just the muffler mate, the note on the other hand will change though...

Oh I forgot to mention that I had a catback made also. I am currently running a 2" baffled redback muffler to keep the noise down... a straight through redback muffler is bloody unbearably loud.

i actually got it off dan (rup), its identical to his from memory, you'd have to ask him but it was a huge straight through, do you have a hatch? i dont think it'd fit sorry

My Lukeys have always been truck mufflers! Haha.
Good note, free flowing too. But good for north-south mufflered Hardtops, not east-west Hatches

Wouldn't have a clue on the part number - i've just always taken an old one in and said "i want a 2" or 3" version of this"
