Impression on Lukey Muffler???

bluesky_astina · 02-08-2008, 10:44 PM

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.

price looks to range from $35 to $95

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.

Yep, I did see that website too but too many to choose. I ma leaning towards a straight-through one but it needs to be reasonably quiet...

you wont get quiet with a straighthrough. thats a promise haha

ooh if it has a heavy silencer you will, but it defeats the purpose

Yes I have a hatch.

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

Hey mate, what your parts number? maybe I can chose "downsized" one of these free flow truck mufflers hehe.

Rupewrecht · 06-08-2008, 09:27 AM

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"

ask for a light truck muffler, thats what they were. when i had my crash i got it replaced with another light truck one, this one is deeper, quiter and less droney, cant remember the maker though
