2" to 2 1/4" Max for stocker

profesionally done it would range between $100-$300 depending on the sports muffler u use.

if there is any variation in performance with different brands of mufflers, you are hardly going to notice the difference if at all.

i got quoted about just over $400 for extractors and a 2" pipe to a "turbo" muffler (which doesn't mean much but with no tip i think you gota supply it

also if i wanted a 3 inch dump on the end do they just widen the pipe or what or is it didgy and spot welded just for looks

Reading an article in a mag the other day and a professional exhaust guy said "turbo" mufflers are a big wank and you cant beat a straight through fibreglass muffler. If you are loking for the highest output you can get from your exhaust this might help.

So the turbo mufflers are a waste of time and money? and how much do 1 of those little babies cost (fibreglass muffler?

Hi,

I've got a gem with a 2" pipe from the extractors up to the lukey performance muffler which is just before the rear wheels and a 2 1/4" pipe out from the muffler. To finish it off my uncle made a sweet as 3" polished stainless dumper.
I've never heard a louder gem Smile

All up it cost me $460 (installed) at Profix.
