do you think there are after market intake manifold which is better than the original frequent spoilt intake manifold ?

use older campro aloi intake manifold... but u wont have iafm system adi....

how ur intake manifold can damage??...

means the infamous torque dip will come back?

iafm eliminates the dip..so without iafm...the dip should come back.

ya, i seldom heard about iafm module rosak

It's actually are "REMARKABLE" issue with all SAGA BLM. For those high rever will definitely get the "tak tak tak" sound for their IAFM module. Meaning that even after changing the IAFM, it will come back in less than 3 months if you always driver like 130-150 KM/h.

If the car is covered under warranty then ok le, else 1 time Rm 380 to change, how can we stand with the cost ?

He is selling after market one aluminum type, any one tried that ?

short intake runners will reduce ur low end torque..

ae 111 4 thottle conversion lo
best aftermarket intake manifold
hahahahahhahaha

can use for saga blm ?

Lol the iafm is not spoil when it got the tak tak sound, its the plunger(valve) has too much free play in it, it in no way affects the function of the iafm only the sound is annoying, it can be fix at any proton sc as they are aware of the problem, simple 15min modification, they take out the valve and shorten it(less free play) then no more sound.
My car change two iafm before they discover whats the issue. Now i always whack the car no problem.

I never went back for service for 1 year already, so no more warranty. Which SC you went for service to get rid of the sound ?

can but no point
coz u not doing extensive mod crappy low end torque
in fact proton invent iafm to improve low end torque
get to proton sc ask them servise lo
can get rid of it and use normal intake manifold but must put alot of money too for parts

Any proton sc can do, its a well known issue, If no more warranty then just pay to get it fix lo, 15min job only, labor should not be expensive unless they want chop you and tells you grandfather story.

Very unwise to ignore the warranty as blm got gearbox and brake defect in some batch, drum brake jam is the most common.

Thanks for the info, actually i void the warranty is due to the expensive labour and part everytime i went to service, 1 year i could save around RM 800 for not going back to proton SC.

Wa 800? What wut you service? Usually i buy my own part and let them do the service, cheapest labor is at proton sc at jalan 227 pj, rm60 for normal service.

I mean RM 800 collected through out the year.

Hey bro storm, i just ask one of the SC, they say can cut the iafm "stick" for me but then will void the IAFM function already, meaning it will work like no IAFM (gen 2). What you think ?

Or they suggest me to change at RM 380 inc labour

they bullshitting you la, the cutting of the rod is just to eliminate the freeplay, the method is develop by Bosch engineers as a solution to the sound. A new iafm cost 1.4k, I think they trying to make money out of you, suggest you go other sc.

haha, that's why can i know what's the sc that you repair yours ?

They said got 2 variances, RM 250 and RM 1060. Now all new BLm using RM 250 type edi. It's yellow and green sticker to distinguish between.

I went near the zoo negara one, actually all sc also dishonest one all they care is money, if you dono nuts they will try to con you tell grandfather story try to scare you if you don't change this etc etc and they are good at it, only way to shut them up is you threaten to call proton Icare and complain.

After i get the iAFM stick cut shorter, my low end torque seems not better than before already, bro storm how's yours ?

Planning to change the whole module
