Mate check the For Sale section as EASPRINT organises a good price on the Lukey's.

yeh after BI6TIM pointed out how ghetto my lukeys are compared to paceys i gotta say go the pacies. my lukeys are press bent with pretty small primarys and a poorly designed collector. for sure they are way better than stock, but if you can go the paceys they are the better option.

Love that photo in your avatar Simmo. Looks hot as!
Sorry to get away from topic there. Ok the Lukey's that I have seen run into a final collector WAY too early(up near the front of the bell houseing). The difference between a 38mm and 41mm primary pipe is Huge for mid range pull. The pacemakers a mandrel bent and have that pipe over design that is pacemaker only, plus they have some length to them and sit the 'cat' down near the back of the gear box, which somehow makes power(been proven several times). Which ever way you look at it the Pacemakers win from every angle except price. They are more expensive but worth it in the long run. |

I have lukey extractors on my car (cheers EASPRINT!) and I didn't find that the noise changed noticeably...not sure about the paccies...but only difference I found is that the engine revs a bit easier and no doubt is an improvement over the stock exhaust manifold

Or just run the same as me.. single muffler.. and thats it.. sounds very loud.. if you want louder.. do as they said above.. but just run a hotdog alone.. lol.. or better yet.. dont run an exhaust at all.. just dump it out after the cat..
LOL Cheers, Nik

SVO XR6, put some extractors on the thing first and see how you like the sound and then think about changing the rest of the exhaust for more noise if you still want.
I found a noticable change in exhaust note when my Pacemakers went on, I also had a 2.5inch mandrel bent system on the car before hand. I've found with the Pacemakers, high flow cat, 2.5inch mandrel bent with one large mufler and a hot dog behind the rear bumber is the perfect setup. It's not too loud if you need to roll passed the police or your girlfriends parents house late at night, but if you get into it people deffinately know you have your right foot down. Again buy the Pacemakers. |
