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?

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?

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  hmm.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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.

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. 😄

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.

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.
