woooooooow very nice Marlin love the quad tips too :-D
what system is that?? was it standard with dual pipes out the back??
i just got the Lukey system put on very happy indeed :-D only cost me $380 all up too which compared to $3500 for my old HSV zaust im abit happy with the price lol
HAHAHA, thanks fellas I do rate it. I love the diesels but I love the sound of an eight more.
I had Jack Beedham's in Redcliffe do it for me, they spent nearly two entire days doing the system. It's very very very difficult to get duals (NOT standard!) in there and retain the spare and keep clearance for the sway bar. I've had the system for nearly two years now without one single issue, and just recently I returned it to Beedhams and asked them to make it louder than it originally was. This was simply a matter of replacing the bolted in centre section with resonators instead of mufflers.
Heres some pics of the underside and a video of it before. Tis video camera is poor so turn it right up ok
Hey Oldgringo....thanks for the tip on the Lukey L1291 muffler.
I fitted one of these 2 days ago after chopping the OEM 44 gallon drum out and binning it.
Paid $125.00 for the muffler and $20 for two 3inch clamps...TIG welded two x 304L stainless 3inch O.D. extensions onto front and rear flange stubs using ER309L filler wire, had to fabricate the 3inch to 2-3/4inch (OEM) reducers myself. Took me about 4-5 hours.
Now, here is the real gem :
3 weeks ago I set the trip computer on a 50km stretch of highway @ 110kph on cruise and recorded 14.7L/100km fuel consumption, yesterday (with the new Lukey installed) I repeated exactly the same exercise on the same stretch of road and achieved 12.6L/100km !
You were absolutely "on the money" mate....my Hemi is now achieving the same fuel economy now as the old AU Falcon my wife drove. Ha..ha...ha.
YES AND NOW THE V8 HEMI EXHAUST TONE REALLY IS TO KILL FOR !...no drone at any speed, really quiet at cruising, fantastic deep growl when hammered. - I left the stock rear resonator on as suggested.
THANKS AGAIN OLDGRINGO
It's a Hemi thing........
