Before, I installed Namban V2 pipe (big elbow). Sounds good, feels good, runs good. But there are things I noticed unpleasant. Backfire is one. No top speed (though I have increased acceleration), and increased gas consumption. I also experienced flaming backfire while starting.

Why I chose Namban? coz I will install engine mods later. And now that most of the planned mods are installed, my pipe is now tuned with the engine settings. Backfire is gone, I'm now satisfied with it's top speed, and flaming backfire is gone. Only one thing has not changed... The increased fuel consumption. Haha!

IMO, It's okay to change big elbow pipe if you have plans of installing engine mods later. If only planning to stay on stock, better be content with smaller pipe diameter. Fuel economy wise and less the hustle of other problems.
Tnx for that info! SMX user. . .
