Help > Proton Satria 1.3gli (M) exhaust system

[ravingill]

I am currently using a stock Proton Satria 1.3gli (year 2001) , my car is manual transmission.
I am planning to do an exhaust mod since my car is very underpowered, i have been researching but cant really choose a 4-2-1 or 4-1 extractor and a s-flow or straight flow muffler.

Can anyone give me some pointers, most people would ask me to go for 4-2-1 extractor and straight flow muffler but some are saying 4-2-1 with s-flow will be better for consumption.

My target for the exhaust mod is better acceleration / power but i dun want major increase in fuel consumption as its a daily driven car.

What shall i do guys ?

if manual then go for ong runner 4-1 and straight flow..


really good high rpm power...

4-2-1 : quick acceleration from low rpm but can't go for too high revs. for small capacity engine like 1.3 should go for this type.

4-1 : low pow during low revs but can go for higher revs. pick up won't be much good as smaller engine can generate enuff power to drive the revs up quickly to make use of the high revs. suggest not to go for this as will reduce engine life if constantly high rev unless u wanna find excuse to change bigger engine. hehehe

S flow or straight thru is own preference. if u don't mod anything else to increase hp, i would recommend Sflow to keep a bit more pressure. only go for straight thru if ur engine is capable of producing more power and needs fast release of exhaust gas. and straight thru will be noisier for a shorter piping in cars like satria. juz my thoughts. anybody is welcome to correct or comment me.

if u plan to change ur engine,better stay with stock exhaust system.dun waste money.once wrong calculation,ur fc will increase trust me.so if u still want to do ur exhaust,giv it to the expert(not waiheng,weiyip).but not worth cuz u will notice a little bit different oni.for me,the best way is change the engine,then do the exaust.feel the different.just ma 2 cents

hey guys , well i am planning to change engine but maybe only end of next year. So il still be using this engine for 1 year or 2.

So best option is to get 4-2-1 and s-flow isit bro, but i see a lot of people using straight flow for satria. My car gives about 10km / liter of fuel, im using 15 inch rims with 195/55/r15 tires.

I wan to gain better acceleration , i will be getting a drop in air filter from simota or k&n , i have ruled out open pod bcoz on a hot day it seems open pod is useless ryt.

 

[mydvdrom]

a serious workshop once said to change extractor only and maintain the stock exhaust system as it is not restrictive to your current engine mods. but once u start playing with higher profile cams and adjust cam timings the stock exhaust might be a bit restrictive in releasing the exhaust gas from the increase in power.

going for bigger exhaust piping, change back box now will only give u some brooom broom sound but will not increase power. might even reduce power but everyone will feel more power due to sound only.

use hotbits exhaust system bro..

 

[damone]

The setup I am using now would be 4-2-1 from Wai Heng, 1.7 external diameter piping following original route, one center box and a big tabung straight flow muffler ( the one that looks like standard setup). Gave me good power up to 5k rpm.

Use standard filter coupled with CAI. This setup is proven best for daily driving.

Hope this helps. Cheers.

use hotbits exhaust system bro..

hehe..the price justified for stock 4g13???..hehehe...but sure look nice la..hahaha

 

[ravingill]

its not the price , i dun mind spending but is it worth , hotbits is very safe , i dun like their setup i have it on my wira auto, the sound is not great and their piping joints give way quiet often, i have had exhaust leak more then 2 times ready.

I am looking for a simple setup that will do the job. I dun want an increase in fuel consumption, i ony want acceleration and a bit of sound.

My fc now is 1 liter = 10km

go to www.powerzone.com.my and download their brochure. these guys are quite serious in the exhaust setups. they don't recommend going for big pipings and back box unless engine is producing so much exhaust gas from power.

what damone said makes sense. maintain the piping size to not so big. i suggest trying the tuned length extractors from powerzone while maintaining everything else first and see the diff. or u may ask their advise.

 

[damone]

Best if you can get the Wira SE extractor. I dun recommend powerzone though, its crush bent and even Wai Hengs cap ayam is mandrel bent.

last time ones are crush bent... now new ones are mandrel bent...

 

[mydvdrom]

if in doubt, go for hotbits mandrel bent then. but it still comes down to whether its worth it now as u r considering changing engine in a year or 2. i do suggest saving the money now and do it together with ur engine. maybe go for mod on air filter as it can still be used back if u change engine (maybe need to change a diff size adapter and piping only but the air filter itself might still be reusable).

 

[damone]

Dont get the swirl type. Honest, I've tried it before. Best setup would be free flow without any turbulance. Get a straight flow back box. Your puny engine using twin pipe like Sgti, you will suffer drivability. Just do as I recommend, will save you lotsa money and effort. Unless you are willing to learn the hard way.

 

[ravingill]

so u suggest take nor mal center bullet, and straight flow muffler. But sum ppl scare me said i will loose low end power and always need to high rev to get power.

 

[damone]

Well, you wont know until you try. Advise, get the big back box. Anyways, yours is single cam, low end will be improved.

 

[ravingill]

well , u guess il go with 4-2-1 , piping , center bullet and straight flow muffler. I hope my fuel consumption dun go crazy and im satisfied with the power gain , now is really underpowered la bro.

 

[damone]

Consumption only affected by your right foot. Control it and you should be ok.

sweet , will update by next week once its done
