My 1 week old Manual WIRA SE : RM56.20 = 320KM using V-power

I don't know much about fuel economy but can you tell me if my car is a petrol sucker? tongue.gif

Last two days I changed my full exhaust system to STRAIGHT FLOW...
Changed to extractor 4-2-1 , add bullet & change to STRAIGHT FLOW MUFFLER.
I realize that the sound is too loud....
The dealer recommend me to use S-FLOW which is more a little silent...
Anymore choices to lower the sound other than changing it back to stock muffler?
One more thing : STRAIGHT FLOW type is it more fuel consuming?

Yah! If Install 3 Bullets can Reduce Exhaust Sound..
But What About Performance? The Power Drop too?

I'm wondering about the performance after installing another bullet. blush.gif

Then,how about FC?More consuming? hmm.gif

Anyway,wanna ask what's the difference between bullet and midbox? rclxub.gif

Last week went to the exhaust service center to add in a long bullet.Dramatically reduce the exhaust noise by 50% !!!

Regarding the FC,not much changes but depend on your right-foot & driving habit..

-some say that i need to change to 15' rims.but is that the only way to overcome dis prob???
need advice.thnx

Previously I have the same problems as yours.

But once I replaced my exhuast system + piping , the problem solved.

As I know,the stock exhaust is bigger below,hence,when you go through those bumpers,it will hit it. I replaced it with stainless steel piping + straight flow muffler which is more compact.The mechanic installed it high up to the available spaces.Therefore won't hit the bumpers again happy.gif

Other than changing your stock exhaust,you may replace your spring with the normal one as mentioned by kazami.

to avoid bumper... from hitting the exhaust.... is it enough to change to xhaust only... or need to change the spring too

In my opinion,is best to change the exhaust and the spring as well for peace of mind.

Else,you may opt to change the spring.

I'm quite happy with my new exhaust now. Until now never hit. icon_rolleyes.gif

if we lowered our ride mean chances to get our muffler hits by bumper will increase?

Depends on the type of muffler & exhaust that you use.

Using stainless piping generally won't get hit because it can connect and fit nicely given the WIRA has large space beneath but big muffler might get hit.

That's only my opinion la..So far never kena before. No need to go slow slow over the bumper. If more passengers in the car then need to slow la..

Has anyone installed the Pivot Raizin Voltage Stabilizer into their 1.5 Auto wira?
I wanna know whether it has effect on the wira cause planning to install one... biggrin.gif

Don't expect great things from this voltage stabilizer.

Have one ZAPTOR GOLD with GROUNDING KIT as well in my car but can't feel its "POWER" .. The car itself should feel the difference smile.gif
