Hey guys,

Lately I've been seeing a lot of sponsored ads/videos of max racing exhaust system. They have everything from air intakes all the way to mufflers. It looks good on paper, it sounds great in videos.

Was wondering if anyone have used or knows anything about max racing exhaust. Anyone willing to share their reviews or feedbacks on max racing exhaust?

Was planning to start saving for it too. just the stage 1 mod (air intake alone) will cost rm480++. stage 3 will go all the way to rm1.5k

Not even sure the power increase is legit. On their ads they even show dyno results, but not sure if the results is real.

anyone using maxracing products, please give us some highlights and testimony?

would like to know as well, any bros ... ?

I got their Axia 1st gen air intake. That time was RM400 as I got it quite early. 3krpm does have increase in torque compare to stock so not bad when needed that boost for 3rd gear level road and 4th gear downhill.

I read somewhere the stock air intake are tune for certain power band. So direct pipe with filter may not get the same result as maxracing or OEM.

Decided not to further upgrade 2nd and 3rd stage as the gain is not as great, the money save I want to upgrade my suspension. Also I don't often drive long distance to recoup the upgrades. If my muffler kaput then I will get maxracing.

so your honest opinion is there's an increase in acceleration after installing maxracing's intake (stage 1) right? is there any other difference you felt besides being slightly more torque-key? like higher top speed or better fuel economy?

Well tbh if you want to see a difference. You probably need to choose a stage 3

No real dyno specs out yet. They only show the chart on their heavy modified vehicle which contain more than just the parts they sell

the air intake and exhaust will not give you more power.
it will consume lesser petrol, makes you think that wow, now i lightfoot also got so much power. but conclusion if you heavy foot your engine still spits out maybe extra 3 to 4 horsepower which in car terms, nothing. cold weather also gives you extra 4 to 5 horsepower, change new engine oil also gives you 2 to 3 horsepower.
Example:
step 30% throttle to maintain 60km/h
after modding
step 20% throttle to maintain 60km/h
but if both case you step 100% throttle from 0-100km/h,will be only 0.2 to 0.3 seconds difference

If you know how to hypermiling, going downhill can easily reach 3krpm with 100kmph.
Can achieve better fuel economy if you have the knowledge. Just adding this air intake would not gain much.

Been using Max Racing Exhaust latest Myvi Intake for 1 week, overall testimony is 200% satisfaction with their stuffs ! 😍 Super Powerful and the results are More than what you ever think of a Myvi can do!

Car responds much faster than stock, just simply hit the fuel pedal and been to 160kmh in just a while~

Before that I had been to lots of workshop to ask them "whether drop in intake is better or open pod? " Everyone are trying to say dropin is better and open pod intake need setting to make it more powerful. Some workshop are also saying they're just making up the advertisement.

But, who care? I believe people who said that might because of red eye or something? 🤭

They people had Dyno graph proven , so many testimonies, videos from users around the world. I just straight order them through their official website 🤣 at least that guarantee me to get the Authentic product?

Saving more money for next stage 3 upgrade soon! Hhhh

Am already using a throttle controller at the moment. fuel consumption already increase 20~30% coz im tempted to accelerate more when the car is lighter than stock. i wonder what difference is there after i install this intake...

The fact that you created this account to reply in this well verse detailed product review and not judging the fact that your user name checks out as well ... just gives me more doubt regarding the product and gains it provide.

Like what Eternalgl0ry bro mentioned, their promo myvi is heavily modded and that also just around 19HP gain for a whooping RM1.8k which we haven't accounted in the ECU remap to properly utilize the changes.

I like to be positive but your reply is just shabby

i agree with you bro. kinda shady for such overrated review. I have heard many engineers say that aftermarket intakes can only provide maximum of 1~3hp boost. 13hp or 17hp of extra power just from replacing the intake is just kinda fairytale to me.
Yes yes, dyno result are given, but its just a sheet of screenshot result. We want real-time dyno results.

I have full set max racing on my myvi. Didn't do dyno though. I guess easier to rev... power wise still difficult to climb steep hills. I think need to install turbo

actually there is another fix if you need your car to be more revvy. just get a throttle controller aka e-drive. its just a 2 minute plug and play, then you can choose your car to be more responsive or less responsive.

my car 1st gen myvi. dont think can install this.

Recently i installed new ecu to my car. Not much gain in terms of horsepower but can feel engine is smoother and more responsive

damage 2.8K

Next project is Turbo

So finally i got an answer indirectly from one of the salesperson.



This salesperson posted max racing ad on myvi 2018 fb group, so i asked him if there is any money back guarantee incase their stage 3 product doesn't produce the extra 19hp as they claimed. His answer is " max racing products once used is not refundable". Meaning whether there is any gain or not, what sold is considered not refundable or exchangable.

Those who want to try your luck, go ahead. but honestly i still think that fitting aftermarket intake and exhaust system alone won't give you more than 5hp in a small myvi.

Cheers! any comments please reply below so we can discuss this further. 😄

there's no replacement for displacement, 19whp even STAGE 9999 also hard to achieve

To get significant gain in power for non performance NA cars, the best solution is to tune the ECU. If you change the whole exhaust system, I doubt you can gain so much power, in this case which is a Myvi.

this ^

... but we're talking about real professionals and not amateur ahbeng rempits that display their rice outside of the shop.

We're talking about track racing crew with the proper gear to diagnose and fine tune the ECU and show you the result on a dyno, will it be cheap ... ? heck no, but don't expect gains if you're gonna cut corners.

if it hasn't already been mentioned, a MYVI will always be a MYVI. We're trying to squeeze as much as possible from a 1.5 2NR-VE engine and no matter how much modifications you done to it (which will do more harm than good in the long run) Please don't expect it to run like a sports car, that's when accidents happen on the road.

I drive a MYVI bro.

okay, i'm finally back. i bought a max racing exhaust 2nd hand from a friend (which he already convert to xpower cold air intake). this max racing intake is basically almost new. only 1month used.

diy installation process is fair. took me like 30mins, not including screws or nuts that fell inside the engine bay.

initially i love the growling sound, makes it sounds more aggressive. after driven it for months, this is what i can conclude:
It only gives better responsiveness, not much extra power unless u use it with a throttle controller. works best when the day is cold. rain, cold morning, cold night. since this unit is bolted above the engine, it sucks in hot air. Only cold air with denser oxygen will give more power. on a hot noon, i must admit, the car is slower than stock intake. the build quality looks good, but the mounting bracket broke after 2months of usage. had to weld it back with extra metal as support. the most disappointing part is, the car feels laggy. just like turbo lag. the 2nd or 3rd second after you step on the throttle, then the power comes in. should this be happening in a NA engjne?

kinda disappointed actually.. now im feeling wanna change back to stock..

Sounds like heat soak to me. If you don't have airbox, your intake filter is sucking in all the hot air in the engine.

When you move, the air start to circulate, fresh air from outside goes in the engine bay.
No a problem for a race cars because they don't stop in the race. Street cars have an airbox for a good reason.

it could also be exhaust gas reduced velocity as most aftermarkets just go wide diameter and longer header length all in favor for peak gains and usually kills low/mid power band.

hi bro, i have no idea what an airbox is.. due to max racing's design, the intake is seated right on top of the engine. Any suggestions i can remove hot air from the equation.

you can build an intake box/resection & reroute the filter to a location where the air is cool and/or add cold air intakes

Hello what max hp/torque get from full set max racing for Axia ?

Don't think you can expect much gains from this engine.

you can actually, turbo dot com BOT axia kinda POWAHH babeh.. obviously not 1 or 2k upgrade haha

After turbo 1KR-VE take Axia go racing with stock suspension and brakes? LOL
