    my bad, why i did not think of that maybe im too much dependent on yahoo search engine

    seriously, i did mate but i cannot find the right answer for my queries... most were discussions on one part to another, high end or jdm mostly, which requires additional modifications... what i wanted actually is, just like airolynx suggested, are simple bolt ons mods... anyways, many thanks too...

    Simple IHE:


    • Short ram air intake (tube and cone filter)
    • 4-1 headers (mandrel bent if possible, but crush bent will do)
    • Upsize piping to next bigger diameter (2" for your case) will minimal bends (mandreled) if possible
    • Replace with singe long midpipe resonator (same diameter with piping)
    • Free flow muffler (2" inlet)

    Add fuel controller and tune for best results!

    Good luck!

    Rough estimate (when I did it before):

    P2500 Simota kit (adaptor, tube and mesh cone filter)
    P4800 4-1 headers on SMT (crush bent with ceramic coating)
    P5500 Upsize +0.25" piping with 24" same diameter resonator (sa SMT din)
    P5000 JASMA muffler (Evangelista surplus)

    Never got to the fuel controller part, but the cheapest used basic Apex-i SAFC I saw on the ads years ago was P6000.00 without installation.

    PS: The basic Simota kit is prone to heat soak under noon traffic! I removed mine and replaced with the stock airbox after 3-4 months of use.
