Hi,
Well i am finally looking at getting an exhaust on my verada, the only problem is i have no idea what i want. But I do know I don't want it too Loud. Does anyone out there have a pic and some ideas for it.
I was thinking of putting in a twin exhaust but i'm not sure, So can anyone out there help me. I own a light Green KR Verada.
:gtfo: :cool:

Are you after just from the catalytic convertor back? (this is the most common way to go initially).
I'd get a 2.5" mandrel bent cat-back exhaust, then I'd look at a few different mufflers. The one I'll recommend is the one I have (obviously lol) as it's dead quiet at idle, does not drone at all and has a nice note when you give it the boot. It is a Lukey LR2779, but I think they may be discontinued? Im not sure, there's been some weird happenings with people trying to get this muffler.
There are plenty of other mufflers out there so don't just listen to me, have a listen to what other people recommend too. DONT get a plain jane cannon...they're noisy as hell.

depends what u want, magna comes with alright mandrel bent pipes already so u can go cheap (like me) and just get a new rear muffler, or do what alot of ppl have done get 2.5" cat back piping and a muffler. Or u can get all the piping redone and extractors, it really comes down to how much u willing to pay
if i had the money i would get extractors, new piping (2.5"), hi flo cat and a nice magnaflow muffler
and KB said the lukey is a nice replacement but each to their own really u basically want a straight thru design muffler to get the extra ponies. I got the lukey its ok, too quiet for me and i would like to try out some new mufflers and soime new piping one day but money is the issue :(
with KB on this one tho if u want a nice system dont go with a cannon (if u do get somehting small and good quality) otherwise u'll sound like every other civic and lancer out there, loud n farty!

well i got mine from ebay for 100$ installation 80$ x force is the name and it comes with a resonator and not loud but a lil bit louder than my standard ralliart exhaust.btw its 3.5 inch muffler
The one I'll recommend is the one I have (obviously lol) as it's dead quiet at idle, does not drone at all and has a nice note when you give it the boot. It is a Lukey LR2779, but I think they may be discontinued? Im not sure, there's been some weird happenings with people trying to get this muffler.
As far as I'm aware, the Lukey LR2779 is still available as part of the AL4-5711 rear section for the TR/TS. I had one put on not long ago from Carline. It isn't a loud muffler by any means, but it certainly has a sweet note. It's designed for power not noise (the reverse of which could be said of some *other* mufflers) This is a bolt on muffler, not a weld on. I see no problems in fitting this muffler to a KR Verada. I would discourage you from doing a twin muffler setup, as I personally don't believe there are any real advantages to doing this over a single. I would suggest getting a muffler with dual tips, IMHO it looks better and fills up the exhaust cutaway nicely. You can always go for a big single tip as well. The AL4-5711 is a rear section only and does not include piping from the cat back.
MISSKS has a nice stainless steel supercat sports performance muffler that you might want to have a look at.
The best thing you can do is go down to your local exhaust place and if they know what they are doing they will reccomend you a muffler that suits your car.

i should actually ASK wat my bro did to the exhaust... all i know is that hes only done new piping (i think...) and catback and exhaust tip, all 2.5" in diameter, looks and sounds kool, but i woulda liked a twin exhaust tip, hes only got a big-ish single pipe. all from lukey :D
