oh.... can i ask is 4-1 or 4-2-1 ? is the effect is obvious ?  smile.gif

im using 4-2-1, other than the s-flow muffler setup for the back pressure, not that much difference. top end *SEEMS* to lost a bit, however low/mid is very nice.

again, butt dyno perspective, so can't say much.
at the end of the day it's cap ayam exhaust, what i pay, is what i get. nothing much to complain about smile.gif

Also any recommendations on the extractor brand and exhaust piping size? Plan to change the set from extractor to piping but want to maintain the original muffler as I don't want any change in the exhaust sound tongue.gif
*
piping size usually 1.5-1.7" for our 1.5l engine (if your engine 1.3l maybe 1.3-1.5")
sound will definitely change as stock muffler basically only does muffling while aftermarket aims for performance (which usually means noisier sad.gif )

if you're maintaining original muffler, you may not have much effect achieved as the muffler will be your bottle neck
think bout it:
you increase piping, and/or better flow extractor (be it 4-1 or 4-2-1)

then you reach your stock muffler, exhaust gas chokes there, then pressure build up, eventually your engine would be well, no difference lol.

Quazacolt bro
i just found out u also driving iswara a/b grey colour?? same with me...  thumbup.gif

u did this at serdang? http://twitpic.com/8p226p

how much is it?
bro... mayb 1 day  we meet and i wanna try out ur car... hehe...
still very "bo song" with my car condition where every hole i can feel it when passing by..
not like solid sound, but like stiff sound.. ><
*
haha so nice dig my pics XD
with kweng lo, extractor to tip is about rm700++? almost/around 800.

slightly more expensive than what he usually quote because i want the biggest s flow muffler their shop has lol. as i am pretty picky on keeping my exhaust/car quiet (ICE and all)
in the end still noisier than stock, however as its bassiser (aka lower frequency), it isn't as bad as i thought it'd be. (especially in the car/cabin. outside car, too bad la, quite loud especially on high rev lol)

and what you're looking forward to try? going through pot holes/yellow line?
i can tell you upfront that it is pretty f***ing bad compared to stock KYB absorbers LOL!
stiff heavy duty custom absorbers (that's supposedly based on rally cars/racing research etc), so.... can't really expect comfort out of it, right? lol

speed was around 140-150km/h, suddenly speedometer drop to 0 WTF, i see my rev still 6k+, my surrounding still flying by me.
for a sec, i was thinking "aiya, 2 pint of starker aromatic, so light shit also drunk like this?"

then when i am nearing my house, speed slowed down and all... still 0.
FML cable broke or something (as speedometer was fairly new >.> only almost 40k km on it lerh, bought original from proton some more, surely not this bugger's fault right? lol)

Your existing insurance company will normally send you renewal notice.

If not, you can try calling them to ask or if you are fed up with current insurance want to try something different, can try tunemoney or maybank2u takaful. I'm using tunemoney no problems buy online pay online very easy. Then go post office and renew road tax.

I believe you can renew insurance as early as 2 months before expiry (but I'm not 100% sure)

if you changing when you're upon expiry, or expired (dont do that lol) then no additional documents.

if you changing well within during your insured period, for w/e reason (bosong agent or something lolz) then may have some transfer procedures.

Hi sifus. Also want to ask the same question. For LMST the stock exhaust system is using 4-1 extractor right? Would a 4-2-1 extractor be better for pickup? I'm looking for better pick up especially in the 3rd and 4th gear.

Also any recommendations on the extractor brand and exhaust piping size? Plan to change the set from extractor to piping but want to maintain the original muffler as I don't want any change in the exhaust sound tongue.gif

Wow, I don't know why everyone is making the insurance renewal such a complicated matter. As mentioned before:

1. If you have existing insurance, you will get renewal notice along with recommended sum insured through post. Of course they will send you renewal notice, they do not want to lose customers. If you want to continue with current insurance, just pay and get the e-covernote and you're good to go.

2. If you want to change insurance, just buy it yourself either through agent or online at tunemoney.com or maybank2u.com - prices are the same no difference. You do not pay extra if you go through agent, and you do not get discounts if you buy it yourself but I think Maybank2u takaful gives you 10% discount. Car insurance in Malaysia is regulated all fixed pricing (it's about RM26/RM1000 sum insured, before NCD). Sometimes if you have good relationship with agent, they can even give you slight discount which is part of their commission.

3. If buying online, you should get an e-covernote. With this, your insurance is renewed. You can then go to post office and renew your road tax, bring your original JPJ car registration card. You do NOT need to bring the e-covernote as everything is online now. Also, if buying online you need to make sure you have sufficient cover for market value of the car. Don't under insure. Many people don't realize but if you under insure if there is any claim, it will be prorated as well. E.g. car market value is 10k, you insure 8k - if there are any claims, it will also be paid out at 80%, e.g. cost of repairs RM5k, but insurance will only reimburse you RM4k as you only cover 80% of your car value.

I don't understand why renewing earlier is a waste of money. Insurance renewal is always following your existing insurance expiry date, e.g. insurance expiring 30 Sep 2012, you can renew today and it is for 1 Oct 2012 to 30 Sep 2013.

If you're changing insurance company, you can transfer NCD - if there are problems with that, then it's just a phone call to the current insurance company telling them you want to transfer NCD.

Everything is easily done online if you're using tunemoney.com - I'm using that no hassles at all. Then just go to nearest post office and renew road tax. No need to go to JPJ.
