Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day i've got 1.3L G13A, it has a factory 4-1 exhaust system, i was wondering if it'd make difference after fitting 4-2-1 extractor with the original exhaust system as it's nearly new?

Anyone done this method before and what's your experience?

cheers

Technically it will make a difference, but in reality no it wont be noticable. Fit the extractors and a descent 2 inch low restrictin exhaust to get a bit more go, and a nicer note. Fitting extractors is not much help if you exhaust wont let it flow well enough to make use of the scavaging effect the extractors generate.

Layto....

If you talking about the real factory header, ditch it and upgrade!!! the factory one has a tube inside the tube you see making the airway even tighter. (like trying to breath through a straw) Get an aftermarket header (extractor as your guys call it) and a cheap free flowing exaust I would go 2in - 2.25 piping. 2.5 inch is a bit to big and you lose useful torque. I feel 2 inch gives the best. I'm not sure of your rules out there but I've run a thorley tri-Y header and 2 inch exhaust with cherry bomb glass packs and I ran it out the side under my door, This thing ran like a banshee. OOOHH also upgrade your intake!!
All these suzuki motors really need is to breath easier.
I'm not sure how to post pics...Send me your e-mail and I'll send a pic of my intake set-up [/url][/code][/list]

i found the zorst to be the cheapest best mod on my zook yet. look around and some exhaust places will fit a 2in from extractors back for about 150. extractors definately helped on mine but not as much as the exhaust.. together though i find it accelerates smoother and has more flow in the high revs.
zuku26 - what did you do to assist your intake? pod filter?

on my first zook I tossed a K&N filter inside the stock airbox, that worked well, then I eventually started leaving the airbox opened a bit to increase the flow in.

Now I run an open element filter (knock off k&N) and it is a hell of a lot better. If I new how to post pics I would just post one of it. You can feel the motor suck in the air quicker plus it has a nice tone to it when it sucks.

yeh i run a k&n as well. the trick is not to over oil it hey. sometimes when coming from the factory they can tend to be over zealous when oiling them.
snorkel couldnt hurt either.
