frtsly, u should find the suitable size for ur piping acording to the engine itself.a slightl;y biiger diamter will tend to increase amount of power that you have. overmod to a bigger and inappropriate size will surely affect the performance (fc and accelaration). a slight bigger of 0.5 or 1" should get u da power..
mine using stainless steel piping with 2.5" muffler and a custom extractor..got some power thru it..hehe..oso noise not so loud..
if ur thinking about 'eliminating' the muffler, then u should thnk twice about it cause ur car will be the same with daytone cars..hehe.the elimination of muffller will surely increased the power as there are no backpressure due to straight flow piping. oso the noise can be heard even when you are a mile away..saw 1 satria in my neighbourhood mod like it..worst than lorry i might say..now i see use the small, loud muufler found in all wiras..haha..
remove the CAT and u will have some increase of power but don't expect it to be 20 hp increement..huhu..my fren change to center bullet said ok..quite powerful.(he's driving wira 1.5 auto) but dono how much increase oso.never tried,hehe..
