Silver's new fart cannon!

It's been ages since I got a muffler change and seeing that the entire contents of my currently serving Werewolf (branded) muffler has been corroded and the silencer has since gone missing, running around my daily tasks have gotten a bit too loud for my liking. Not to mention much bothered neighbors :P

So off I went to visit Kiong Lee where Kiong, whom has done my exhaust since three touge machines ago, understood all of my intricate requirements and knew immediately which muffler was for me. I'm a picky bugger when it comes to how my car sounds.. I feel that it contributes a a a lot to the overall feeling of my much loved weekend cruises, don't you?

Kiong chopped off the old (locally made) Milo tin muffler and brought out what I would expect to serve me well into the next few years. We tacked it into place and tested how this massive tank sounded, and immediately, I was sold on this unit, Kiong knows me all too well.
APEXi's Dunk Megaphone is soft at idle, burbles at higher flows and growls at high RPMs, yet there's hardly any audible noise in the cabin... Kiong mounted it slanting sideways and upwards, just how I like it to be... Perfect~!!!

Now maybe I'll get some Autosol and start working on its finish this weekend :P

Stuffed!

After the constant touge sessions and everyday wear, my muffler got a little burnt out and its note turned blary.

As every petrolhead knows, this warrants a trip to your local favourite exhaust shop. So I went to Kiong Lee for a fiber cartridge refill.

Upon lifting the Silver Banana up on one of his main jacks, he found the exhaust route and components to be too restrictive, sapping power and causing immensely high fuel consumption, he explained. So the muffler was removed along with half the piping down (up at that moment) there.

He'd (Ah Kiong) re-routed the pipes, replaced a massive resonator with a MUCH less restrictive one, retained the original stainless steel resonator to keep vibrations down whilst Ah Lee (his younger sibling) refilled my muffler's fiber cartridge.

Re-installation works were done, Kiong even adjusted my muffler angle (sed it looks nicer), and I'd test drove it for a week now. More power could be felt at the mid RPMs but only a slight increase in the higher revs, plus, my car can now do 500+ km on a full tank where previously it could only do 300+ km.

Much thanks to Kiong Lee.... Both of them :P
