    Twin system, one lukey muffler. 2” pipe. If you go two mufflers put a balance pipe between the pipes.

    I replaced my exhaust system on my daily driver the other month and very happy with it. Its a twin 2 1/4 system with pacemaker extractors and the best thing i did was fork out an extra ~$400 to have the extractors ceramic coated. I reckon the cost was worth it. Hope it helps, cheers.

    Thanks guys, love the ceramic coating, the exhaust guy has recommended twin 2 1/4 into one muffler then twin out, pretty sure he was going to use Luke's muffler, will that sound nice and deep? He suggested mild steel not stainless

    Tri-Y extractors into a two in, two out Lukey single sports muffler 2 1/4" heavy gauge steel for deeper note.
    Stainless is great for longevity and looks but not sound. As WB mentioned separated mufflers need a balance tube if you go that way.

    Yeah it gives a nice deep note. Gives a bit of a nice crackle when you feed it in to it too. Not as much as hot dogs, but sounds good.
    I agree on the mild steel also. Mine has had this system on since 2000 and hasn’t rusted out yet.

    Is it 253 or 308?
