The Sign of Ageing?

Greetings!

In the previous post, i told you guys that i have just converted my straight flow muffler with an s-flow type muffler. Here is the picture.

peaceful

like i said earlier, a bit loss in power, but bring a big smile to the passenger. LOL. till then. see you in the next post. I'll bring you to my 'another' journey in finding horsepower.

Mirage Cup Racing

This video is quite old actually. but i still wanna share the video to you guys because maybe some of you still haven't watch this video. The battle between mitsubishi hot hatch, mirage cyborg. If im not mistaken all of the car are equipped with Mivec 1600cc engines which have been modded of course =p .....Damn.. i love the sound!

Btw, i forgot to update about my new exhaust setup. Last week, i swapped my j's racing straight flow muffler with s-flow type muffler. I dunno why. Maybe i'm getting old =p. Eventhough i can feel that my car power especially high end power dropped but i don't really care much since the sound is candy to the ears. Furthermore it improves my low end power =) which is very good for city driving. I might change back to 'war-type' muffler because i might getting bored with it (the current ones).... but not very soon i guess. haha.

See u in the next post.

Muffler

Is this thing can yield some horsepower? some said yes but some said it it just for cosmetics. As for me when i change my muffler from s-flow type to straight flow (free flow) type, i can feel a lot of improvements. Btw when i make a research from the net, i found a dyno graph which can be a proof for my statement =)

*credit to Heri for the dyno graph!

The dyno graph is taken from a new friend of mine from Brunei.

Name: Heri

Car: Toyota Vios ( 2008 )

Engine: 1 Nz-FE

Well, I don't know whether is there any increment (horsepower) for my engine since i haven't dyno my car =p but all i can say that ( from butt dyno =p ) straight flow exhaust is really a good upgrade for MANUAL car. If you are driving car with AUTO transmission, s-flow type is the best for you since you really need to keep some back-pressure.

just my 2 cents.
