modify exhaust suggestion

[Veloc]

if auto less than 300whp, better stick to 2.5" if above 300whp, able to use 3" pipings...
if u rever to hypertune this mth issue...audi R8 front page there is a coverage bout S60 TS 400hp & 500Nm torque....

I see... Because my friend works in a company that deals volvo here. And to him, those new cars with advance electronics are better left alone. Because with so many ECUs, one thing done may affect many other areas. Not just one. Haha... Maybe it's just a matter of skill and competency of the mechs.

Anyways... CONGRATS DANZ for achieving "5000 BHP Senior"!!!!

i dont know much about exhaust system..

but for me it's better to get an aftermarket pipe+muffler..

if u custom made it at ur 'pakar ekzos', i'm sure it will decrease power..

why?

becoz air flow in a tunnel/pipe is hard to calculate.. aftermarket parts manufacturer have their own machine to test the flow..

i don't even remember seeing any machine at 'pakar ekzos' that test air flow.. all they have is the same machinery that can be found in a 'pakar besi' shop..

juz my $0.02..

I think won't reduce power if it is done properly. Not overkill, not choking, do mandrel bending, etc. But of course the power gain not as much as aftermarket plug and plays. But think of it, same models of cars differs slightly in different regions. There is a risk that aftermarket ones can't fit 100% and in the end must modifiy again. Let's say if it fits, consider the price difference of an aftermarket ready made one and a customised one... Okay la... Even though the power gain not as much as calculated aftermarket products, the difference is probably 3-5 hp i's say? No need spend a couple of hundreds more on that la...

Just my 10 cts

ya lor..

everything depends on u

RM wise = custom made exhaust..

Performance wise = aftermarket exhaust..

but again, where got 'pakar ekzos' that has a mandrel bending machine? i also wanna go there

p/s : 3-5 hp is a lot u know..

Oh i see! Year 2001! I thought it's one of the latest like year 2007 and above. Misunderstood you... If those really new ones, tuning is really hard... Too many stuff are computer controlled...
