Lou's in Brockton, Stoughton, Quincy. Other locations too.

 

Sweet, the first 2 are closest for me. I still have the stocker but tis about that time. I'd like something a little better than stock. Not for the noise factor either

 

I'm pretty set on getting a Millermatic 211. It's not cheap but it's something I don't think I'll need to upgrade in the future either.

 

I found that on their website. I've never done business with them since I'm strictly a stock exhaust system guy.

 

If/when I upgrade from my Eastwood, that machine is definitely on my short list.

 

Walked out to the truck at this jobsite and found this Landy posted up!

 

Sweet! Right hand drive?

 

I didn't check but it looks almost like a euro spec so that would track

 

Looks like it's a little worse than I thought.
Damage goes all the way up to the grill. Was planning to cut mine and do something custom and not full size but that appears to be out now. Hmmmmmm

 

looks left left hand drive from the second picture

 

The snozzberries taste like snozzberries?

I attempted to get a quote from Lou's back in high school when I had my Accord. I had an aftermarket muffler already and just wanted them to pipe it up and not make it sound overly loud / raspy. They wanted $600 for crushbent piping with no guarantee it wouldn't sound awful. I bought an A'pex-i full mandrel bent system for $435.00 and did it myself.

Every car I've seen running around with a Lou's sticker on it has sounded horrible. Maybe I'm being elitist.

In good news, the other company accepted liability for the damage to the Jeep, which is exciting.

 

Wait for it to warm up a bit.

Hit it with a hair dryer, and a lacrosse ball to roll it out. Looks like it just needs some heat and some coercion into position. Working it when it's THIS cold out is asking for cracking the plastic, but if you do it when it's 50°± a bit then you should be good, heat gun if you have it but hair dryer if not. Heat gun can get more heat than you need and melt it too, hair dryer will just give it a gentle nudge.

 

Good lord what a great lookin' rig

 

What muffler were you running, if you recall?

Kit exhaust is an option though I bet my choices are sparse at best for my rig.

 

I have a Lous exhaust on mine. I think they had like 3 choices and even offered duel exhaust. (No hp gains) and they definitely have a year warranty, maybe more, I don't recall how long but did use the warranty once.
They were the cheapest by far when I needed work done. They will also weld almost anything for you at the hourly rate. I can't weld so "this is the way"

 

This was for my Accord. I had bought a cheap Arospeed muffler. I junked it and did an A-pex’i World Sport 2 cat back, 60mm piping, 100mm tip. It sounded killer.

I wouldn’t do anything but a stock catback on my truck. I don’t ever really care for how the TRD system sounds.

 

The 4cyls I have heard with a different muffler seemed pretty loud to me. I'd pick out a nice muffler and a resonator to keep the noise level where I'd want it.

 

:/

I like the way my TRD system sounds. It's got some tone but not very much volume!
