[QUOTE="weikhee86, post: 1063530274, member: 20790"] Hi there, thanks for your reply bro. I visited Kweng84's exhaust shop and did my exhaust as recommended by the sifu there, so I kept the 4-2-1 extractor swapped in by the previous owner, and redid my piping to 1.6 or 1.7 inch (I forgot but I just agreed to the recommendation) and used back the stock muffler. There is a drastic change in fuel consumption and pickup response after changing my exhaust system. Must say I am very satisfied with it now, more suitable for city driving since I am aiming for best fuel economy anyway so I can ignore the top speed performance for now. As for the motor oil, I have yet to service the car will do so when I have the time. I read somewhere that is it not necessary to use fully synthetic, semi synthetic is enough? Please correct me if I'm wrong, been using semi synthetic for my older car back in my hometown without any problem. Will fully synthetic oil be good for older engines? FYI I'm still running on 4g13 carburettor engine. [/QUOTE]
