Regretted changing their stock Exos?

[Ken_leong]

Anyone bro or sis here regretted changing their stock exhaust?

 

Remus and Sebring are the only 2 LTA approved exos for my ride. Would like to heard valuable feedbacks before getting one.

I know the low end wll suffer but the mid and high end will improve together with the sound.

The effects on the low, mid and high are neligible or quite obvious?

urs is auto... a semi flow setup would be most ideal. unless u would wanna give up street driving totally.

 

if straight thru, ur exhaust sounds good. but low end will definately suffer. imagine loud sound at traffic lights, but car didnt move much. others will prolly be sniggering at the sides.

 

check if either remus or the sebring is semi flow before commiting. u might be surprise that maybe an illegal muffler will yield more gains den these 2 approved ones. but of cuz it comes with a price tag. $500

[Vtim]

if yours is auto, just go for muffler mod will do, cheap...er...should be "best value for money" , legal somemore

[Wreckwrx]

When you talk of mid and high end, what sort of rpm ranges are you talking about and in your daily driving, do you even hit those rpm range?

 

Mind you, petrol not cheap nowadays....

[Linus]

changed mine to remus. low end lost neligible. perhaps i took out my reasonator too. but mid and high end can feel the difference. more air "free-flowing" outwards.

[Boyboy]

i believe the remus n sebring are semi-flow. correct me if i'm wrong.

 

got legal straight thrus exos or not?

[Ken_leong]

Yup. Remus and Sebring are semi flow. But don't like the feeling of being stopped by TP even though got cert to prove that the exos is LTA approved.

[Boyboy]

is ur ride very eye-catching?

[Yc86]

Changing from stock... never!

 

Changing from a fully straight thru to a twin semi flow muffler, probably.

Changed back, then changed back again. =/

But they're both LTA unfriendly anyway.

 

The effects are very obvious. Even between 2 so-called free flowing exhaust already can feel alot of difference.

Not to mention changing from a restrictive n conservative stock system.

[Rb26dett]

just get the aftermarket exhaust.sounds nicer and sportier also.

lag or not is very subjective.best is you try it out yourself and feel it.

if its not up to your expectations , then just strip it out and sell it ,simple as that.

i last time always hear people complaining about losing low end here and there,setup not responsive bla bla, till i try it out myself and i find it pretty ok leh.

try it,then see how.

[Byond]

if u are driving a mazda 3, go for autoexe. someone is selling in mcs forum.

although not legal...but this autoexe is good stuff...

try it and u will know what i mean.

Bro, i'm running on Sebring

 

Low end suffered but mid to high is better as compared to stock

 

Been enjoying it since i installed 2.5 years back especially the exhaust note when you ram above 3K Rpm

 

By the way, i do not have those si mi tuning add ons ...

 

But of couse, don't expect a Mazda 3 to really be able to cheong & chiet others after all these mods or add ons cos it's jus a 107BHP 1.6L(A) ride

After much deliberation, i finally went to install a Remus exos today. I was kinda surprised that it wasnt as bad as i thought.

Low end loss not that obvious. But definitely driving is much more smoother. Soundwise,its a lil bassier than stock.

Now to vicom to get my ride inspected and

[Bellaraphon]

enjoy the low bassy sound when u rev.

 

and welcome to the remus family.

 

i'm on remus for my altis. + no other engine mods. low end loss is negligible. but the sound is

[Civic6656]

How much did you spent on the remus? I've having the same ride as yours and am contemplating too....

 

Wonder where to get 2nd hand one...

Just a change of muffler is not gonna get much gain in performance.

 

You will feel that the car has "lighter breath" and rear cruising speed faster....sound effect wise, the aftermartekt exhaust will usually be louder than stock...but in a sporty way. If you value peace and quiet, I advise you give this a miss.

 

Most LTA friendly exhaust are semi flow.

[Kenmical]

Performance gain outta muffler is minimal. You need to compliment it with other mod. So be it any end...diff is small.

[Route88]

I did regret ,but unapprove ones

Not so heart pain in the pocket,sound is loud

Butt power is minimal

 

Dismantle it after a year...now drive in peace
