the extractor is the most sensitive part in the engines breathing system. i wouldnt recommend ANY custom extractors no matter what they say. this is because if its wrong then ull end up with crappy power and be disappointed. stay away from them man...seriously. i would only recommend performance brands extractors or stock extractors... thats it.

as for the air filters... heres the thing....

open pod's advantage is that it sucks more air coz its open and able to suck from all over the place around it. while replacement elements in an airbox is restricted suction because it sucks air from one source which is the hose..

best solution would be to combine both... get an open pod, make a custom air box for it... and shove in many many many many (mebbe 2 or 3 big ones la) hoses into the air box from the front..... this should give massive amounts of air....and more importantly...massive amounts of COLD air.

@kev da man
simpler yes, but heatshields only reduces the amount of hot air being sucked in...

the way i stated will ensure ONLY cold air is being sucked in. or at least whatever the air temp is outside. time consuming? errr...depends on how elaborate u make the box. u could always use those chrome windscreen sunshade thingies to make a heatshield + airbox (2 in 1) with those hoses. as for how messy it is...depends on the car actually...placement of airfilter, where to direct the hose etc etc

@r40s
extractors is not only length bro...the bends counts as well...so does the size n god knows what other sh!t. cant really remember coz i read this online a few years ago when i was doing some research on it. hence the reason i say its the most sensitive part.

not necessarily low la bro.... i was using a jasma approved 5zigen border and it was friggin loud

Jasma is more like a Sirim for exhausts in Japan....thats it. they kinda make sure it keeps to the noise level (which im guessing they set the bar pretty high ) and also emissions standards. and of course quality control la.

go check out the Mugen Twin Loop replicas... cheap and works well enough and pretty quiet with only a low bassy sound...


best place would be shah alam... at NS Performance Tuning Sdn Bhd

anyone knows a place in PJ/Subang/Shah Alam that custom make a muffler?

as in the muffler itself..the internals etc... places ive went to so far dont do it.

i didnt say anything about repairing...i wanna make one from scratch with my specifications of the internals and dimensions etc...

and if i were to repair....the main point is that mine is ohlee spoon


u seem to be a supporter of them eh?? heheheh....

anyway, any idea if they can custom make the pipes INSIDE the muffler based on my specifications? not too worried about the wool or fiber thingy....that one can settle later...main issue is the pipes inside and also if they can weld aluminium to steel.

thanks for the info... will drop by supercircuit when its time...how much did ur muffler cost anyway?.... and where in sunway they at? any landmarks etc? never been to their place before

rm380 for ur muffler? hhhmmmm... looks like mine is gonna cost significantly more..

ok... thanks for the info

wan TT? aiyah...Banshee not out of ICU...and even if its out.. need to run in the engine and retune...then only can rev kow kow hahahha

well..with the newer higher compression... the exhaust is supposed to be louder

imagine before this it was already very loud... wonder how loud the new setup is gonna be... this is gonna be.........interesting hehehhe


lucky i dont have high cams... otherwise.... brap brap brap brap brap brap

yup....need torque

id go with this one... further away from the main heatsource: the extractor

somemore now ur is exposed extractor liao..

id like to see that.. .link pls...


is this similar to the AEM CAI setup for Civics?

could always just copy the picture n host it up on imageshack or something

yeah i was right.. similar to AEM's CAI setup...

but i wonder if he has the "wet" setup like the AEM or the "dry" setup

the filter does not indicate a wet/dry setup....this does..



notice the sponge in the middle of the piping.... thats for wet setup...dry setup wont have it

*pic is from my friends car...


copyright poodah... i have the right to copy

thanks for the pic

so drex... everytime u wanna clean ur filter ur gonna have to remove the bumper i assume...

unfortunately im the type that would clean my filter at every service or 10k intervals....

my old stainless steel mesh drop in on my ex-kelisa could collect ALOT of dust surprisingly hahahahha

good idea about the flushing though.. didnt think about that...


anyway...wat brand filter is urs? i have plans on going stainless steel as well... but the Blitz SUS aint cheap

have u done any comparison between this and the Blitz SUS Stainless Steel filter?
