PowerZone's 4-2-1 extractor was RM400 the last time I ask for pricequote. You'll get two for RM800 tongue.gif

For me, a step by step would be extractor -> air filter -> muffler -> camshaft -> piping.

The only problem for camshaft upgrades nowadays, none of the manufacturers seemed to bother making cams optimized for automatics.

I put piping for the last is because oversizing the exhaust piping does not do much. You could even feel power loss at lower rpm. Besides, you're on automatic. For automatic, the best performance mod is to gain as much power as possible from the lower till the midrange rpm.

For the muffler, maybe you could try look for 2nd hand Tanabe s-flow.... they're usually priced below RM400. For value setup, maybe you can get an 'F-1' brand muffler. It's kinda 'cap ayam' but my cousin had one of those last time... s-flow type with big 'stomach'. The sound is not noisy. And probably, you can remove the catalytic converter and replace it with bullet silencer to reduce more noise.

O_o, wooT~ that's cheap at RM400 (considering my fren got his cap ayam for RM300 and he told me PZ cost RM800 .. damn him...)

I do need more low end power (did i mention accent sux at low end?)
Looks like my initial stage of mods will cost RM800 or so (extractor,cheapo simota,and muffler)
Is upgrading the camshaft important?

So cheap.... high probability that those are custom made ones.

Performance wise? Argueable... since the right extractor design must be properly tuned. Different primary/secondary pipe length leads to different kind of powerband.

how about from J-FA sunway...custom manifold 4-1...

Anyone knows what brands are available in KL for knock-off Twin Loop mufflers other than the original Mugen. I know there is Datco for local brand. Is the quality good in terms of performance and noise level? Anyone tested it yet?
What other brands available?

I've never been to JFA, but I bet they don't have benchflow test.

However, turbo manifolds should not worry too much, as long as they're of matched length and good quality.

It's just for the NA that matters.

Most accessories shop will have it. But I prefer Tiong Hee, because they have plenty of stuffs, many choices.

If you're looking for original K&N, I think Siong Fah has it.

Some drop in will actually cost powerloss.

There was a test done on an Acura RSX with K20A2 engine with drop in K&N filter, the result was lower by 1hp for max power compare to stock doh.gif

muffler gives very very minimal difference... sometimes almost none, or worse.

most of the time muffler is just for noise reduction and for appearance.
