Ok, so if it's at WOT, the engine in my car according to wikipedia is capable of 126hp @ 6000 RPM

The table linked shows the exhaust to suit is 2", I know it's smaller than that - but I'm not at 6000 RPM, so the exhaust pipes should be fine.

Good thing I'm not going to touch the exhaust at the moment, the intake on the other hand, I might try a WAI if I can't break 600 kMs on this tank. A tune for economy would be nice (at 98 RON), but the cost outweighs any benefit, aftermarket ECU, then a fuel map and time - huge expense for what I perceive won't be much of a gain.

So Intake mods and driving technique must be where it's at.
