I was considering an OEM layout.Originally Posted by pimento
I guess it depends on how bad the original is.
After market stuff can't be as good as they don't have the same data the automaker had.
And of course there is something you just can't fix. Like a pink LFA.

Yeah the originals has to be pretty awful for an exhaust to make that much difference.
10% is top you'd get on any modern car.

Goodyear Duragrip, 175/65 R14, 60 € each installed, balanced etc etc
Seems silent, and grippy enough for my little Puggy 206.
Given the car and the resources, I'm more interested in fuel economy to be honest.
Each tire is covered by a 1 year insurance. No matter what happened, should I need to change a tire I will pay only the installation. Road assistance also included, but I already had that with the car's insurance.

Not sure on the price, but the (old) guy at the shop said the Goodyear were better working on my car.
Another shop asked me 80 € for the Michelin, and 70 € for Kleber's tires.
I checked a few reviews, mainly from entities like ADAC, and the Michelin weren't rated as good as the Goodyear or the Pirelli P4 (not available, and couldn't wait).

Of course you need to redesign also the intake, and to have a decent engine and timing to start with. Decent as in worth bothering with it or capable of using the pulses for something useful.
The exhaust alone could even be counterproductive, hypothetically.

Nice, only 120 years behind the French
WOnder how well it copes, previous attempts in modern times it wears badly and/or shears as the long levers of wheel and pedal can impart large shear loads.
