reading this makes me laugh.. bro, changing exhaust doesn't mean it has to be loud.. it juz gives better flow.. and, for an auto tranny, u'll be using the "S-Flow" type muffler, which in return already reduces the noise.. there's a lot of aftermarket exhaust out there that are silent.. don't go for the "RM130 Semua Siap Pasang" package la..

what i'm using for my Gen-2, changed R3 header (removed the CAT), bullet, and Speedworks muffler, no noise at all inside cabin.. outside, when u pull, it sounds like a turbo engine when the internal wastegate routes the gas through the exhaust, which is sweet for me.. it's silent if the throttle is depressed <50%..

dyno tested it, before and after gave me an extra 9HP at the wheels.. that is without the K&N, and with, adds up another 2HP..

not to say it cannot tahan mods, it can.. but our proton gearboxes only can withstand to a certain HP increase before it fails, which is not much btw.. that's why American or European gearboxes have horsepower ratings, i.e, till 550HP etc..
p/s: i destroyed 7 auto gearboxes in my 1st car, which is a 1990 Proton Saga 1.5i (4G15) [personal R&D purposes], before i finally swapped to VR4-RS (4G63T) engine..
