  decided to go for servicing here at kaki bukit ave 1 near to my workplace. da mechanic told me that i need to slice my pipe (exhaust pipe- i think is da original wan whew so big lah! like a bazooka). he said must slice and must do something inside the tummy of the pipe..
  
  anyone of u guyz know about this. he said around $120. if u know about this kindly reply and give some comments and recommendations...

  if u said kaki bukit, its better to go to first motor, they have ready made modded milo, n just exchange wif them
  
  after modding, u have the following advantage, this is my own experince and from others
  
  your pickup n mid range will not be far from arrow - TESTED!!
  
  your pipe will no longer be burning hot, just warm
  
  top end if properly tuned up will be around 155-160km /h
  
  increased acceleration and a claeaner valve
  
  easier decarbonisation in future
  
  the price shld be around 250, but this is true stuff,
  
  i was offered as low as 40 dollars from other shops, but decided not to take the chance, so the final decision still lies wif u

  oh ya, forgot something, wad they do is , they will remove the 3 restrictor plates on ur end can, so that the fumes will shoot out straight, and also if i m not wrong , they is another restrictor on ur tummy, end productis a thru pipe

  actually i would rather u kui toh at first motor,coz the end can is detachable, so nxt time it is easier to decarbonise, at ideal they weld back the whole thing, but ideal 's skills r not too bad either, rite dom?
• zhenzhen_11

  14 Dec 01, 02:54

  actually all the same..
  
  but detachable can tahan or not??? how much huh???

  if you all just open/kui toh the pipe can pass inspection but not with a arrow inside ... i have a friend riding Aprilia Y2K who have put a arrow inside his milo can ... tested power ...top can go till 180km/h ... but still the decision lies on each and every one of you hee
