    I put Lukey Ultraflo on mine front and rear in a 2.5" using thesame dimensions as the OE mufflers but it barks and sounds really clacky like a 253 Holden above 2000 rpm. I don't like them.
    Look at Magnaflows. Taz has a magnaflow and STD rear muffler and it sounds quite good.
    Ultraflo has no volume in the can making it pass thru quite fast and not absorbing much of the resonance giving that nice deep note under load without all the crackle.
    Cheers

    Andrew.
