From link in OP:
Quote:
Took the thing out and went for a cruise on PIE, normally cruise at about 100km/h, after removing the resonator, can go at about 120km/h while stepping at about the same on the accel.
Quote:
1. the car becomes more responsive upon acc. pad was stepped.
2. Noiser from the engine compartment: bigger hole wat, :P
3. feel like cruising even 70km/h @ 3rd gear.
4. Engine didn't stress that much (my driving behaviour abit terror lah, 1st gear--3K rpm, 2nd gear--4.5k rpm, 3rd gear--3.5k rpm before shift to 5th gear. with this DIY, engine dun sound so stress liao.
5. braking. this is quite important leh, I feel that I need to step harder on the brake after this DIY to actually bring the car to the desire safe distance from e front vehicel while traveling along the high way as compare to b4 DIY. maybe b-cos of the cruising effect?? Did u notice that too?
6. Dun feel the gear "bitting" at all when change from 1st to 2nd"
I suspect it's not just books that can have errors...
