I choose Cold Air intake. Remain stock filter. Stock filter will flow more than enough air for your engine. Besides that, a full exhaust system revamp.

Any introduction of external air will be compensated by the ECU. More air, more fuel.

Besides Myvi is quite nimble during acceleration, what more can you do? A 1.3l will still have the same power, no matter what you do.

IMHO, never go for LCP. I've heard more sob stories from Myvi owners after changing to LCP.

Change to a better grade engine oil, and ATF oil.

Basic maintainance is usually the best way to go. And honestly, you can't expect much from a 1.3 litre engine. Unless you turbocharge it for low boost.

I have one immitation Apexi open pod from my friend. Selling for RM50 plus adapter. Only used for one week, saja mau testing.

In the end went back drop in.

Surprisingly, almost the same as original. Even the filter material.

Just the printed wording gave it away, and the gasket they use for the adaptor.

SVDO engine mmg kenot use open pod one. Lose torque, lose HP. Drop in still the best.

Nopes, not wrong setup. Due to the VDO Ecu, I'm not sure how but any open pod setup will lose torque, but pickup mmg nice to lenjan. But you lose top end as well.
Based on me, and a few friends experience. MMC, well, they show better results.

Drop in standard filter still provide the best though I feel. Using stock setup with just CAI. Very nice to drive around.

Usually original or not, same thing, its just the filter material that might differ, but not much.

MAF sensor engine seems to be able to use open pod with better results as compared to MAP sensor engines.

I may be wrong, just my observation.
