    oo nga naman... what for?

    to make people think your 1.6 liter Altis is fast?

    u can spend more than P50,000 on "mods" and you won't even get the equivalent performance of a stock 1.8G altis.

    Actually I think P50,000 is enough to install a used nitrous oxide kit into the car. It might be enough to push the Altis 1.6L to match a stock 2.0L car.

    Of course, without upgrades like better tires, better brakes, better suspension, you would be a danger to yourself and everyone else around you on the road.

    And there is a question of your stock clutch slipping (due to the high HP produced) and the sudden nitrous boost might blow a hole in your exhaust manifold's gasket because of the back-pressure produced by the stock catalytic converter in your exhaust system.

    If you want to be serious about increasing the performance of your Altis, you will have to plan out a goal for your modification. Example, would you want to upgrade your engine with a turbo or simply do an engine swap with a bigger displacement motor?

    And include all the other requirements to keep in control of your ride with the added power as well which includes suspension, brakes and wheels upgrades.

    Power without control is simply dangerous and often ends up in stupid accidents which could have been avoided if the car was properly setup.

    scub exhaust is an open exhaust that ends under the middle of the car. It minimizes back pressure and it will be loud, often too loud to drive comfortably for longer than just a few minutes. Its possible to gain a few HP (1 to 3hp) but often, the gains in HP does NOT outweigh the loss of your sanity when driving such a noisy car.

    YES. And people who have scub exhausts on their daily drivers are simply "kulang sa pansin" as it is irritatingly loud and noisy.

    Price range? Free.

    Just get underneath the car and saw off the exhaust after the headers.

    Yes, it'll sound as bad as it looks. If you've ever watched a Starlet autocross, that horrible, ear-splitting buzz-saw noise is the sound of a "scub" or scavenger exhaust at work. It's almost impossible to drive such a car on a daily basis.

    Save yourself the trouble. Just buy a nice looking muffler (around 8-12k pesos) and be done with it. The measly extra few ponies you can get from a scavenger exhaust isn't worth the pain.

    There are only two power mods worth getting for street use. Forced induction (turbo, nitrous, supercharging) or engine management (which often comes bundled with the turbo). Everything else compromises either the driveability of your car or compromises the size of your bank account.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I could have told you that and you wouldn't have needed to spend thousands of pesos to find out.
