don't waste your time and money with the cheap aussie trash that is Lukey mate.

hear many stories of the inside walls of the mufflers blowing out and whatnot - they are cheap for a reason. Go with stuff from japan or the US if you can afford it.

I was at exhaust shop the other day ... they had a 2001 rolla fitted with lukey muffler on 2.5 system it sounded really nice with no blow back aswell .... i am definatly thinkin of the same thing for my rolla ...

aslong as its not cheap no name imported brand nothing to worry about .. least australian products have design standards and epa standards to live up to..

check some exhaust web sites the have sounds of customers cars on there ...lukey i think or walker ...

i did it at home.

its a straight replacement part for the stock exhaust!

all you need is a socket wrench and some wd40..

wouldnt be a bad idea to raise the back end for easier access... thats how i did it basically.

DIY FTW!

SHAKE N BAKE!

stock exhaust compared to sportivo exhaust

besides the droopy tip of the sportivo exhaust, they are pretty much identical... except the sound is a lot different. "throaty" is the word thats usually thrown around when describing the sound...

the exhaust is held in placewith these rubber gasket thingiez.

lube up the lower hole with wd40 for easy exit of the stock.. and easy entry of the new sportivo exhaust

i've had both a lukey muffler and a sportivo muffler behind my system (extractors and 2.25" pipes all the way back)...

i had the sportivo one on first, then when i was rear-ended i had it replaced with a lukey...

differences:

LUKEY - louder, more enjoyable tone, bit of a drone on highway driving..

SPORTIVO - quieter, tighter tone

neither were noticably more powerful... if i had to pick one on power i'd go the lukey...

its up to you what you're after... everyone raves about sportivo muffler, and i do think they're very well suited for the 1zz-fe.. they're just heaps quiet. if you're getting a muffler for tone, you'd be better off getting the lukey...

if you want somethink quiet but a bit more powerful and a different tone, then the sportivo muffler is the way to go...

anyway quick shameless plug: full 1zz-fe exhaust system (with lukey) $350 with swap of your stock stuff in sydney .

Also the Sportivo muffler that Jase is talking about is a genuine toyota accessory - it looks like the levin muffler with th droopy tip. It is a direct bolt on part.

The sportivo muffler that TomTom is talking about is off a Corolla Sportivo which has 2.25" piping and requires welding. The usual upgrade is the whole cat-back system off a Stivo welded onto the 1ZZ system after the cat.

My opinion is that Tom's $350 system is a BAAAARGAIN

people are also forgetting to mention there are heaps of different "Lukey" mufflers available, the ultraflow, the turbo, the race, the race welded, etc etc.

The Lukey Turbo 2.25" sounds decent on a 1ZZ, I have a 3" Race Welded on my wagon which was suprisingly quiet... but it also has a turbo to shut it up.

My brother had a Lukey (Turbo) system on his 5.0l V8. One of the mufflers collapsed, it was replaced and then it was fine for years right up until he got rid of the car.

go the jap/US ones. I've heard several cars with the lukey and I still reckon the imports are much better, sounding and performance wise. But I guess its up to personal preference

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
