At last, I have finally completed the customization of my ride, the last of which recently was a remapping exercise. As far as I'm concerned, the car doesn't need any more mods. The total customization package turned my car from a stock 407 into a totally different lion with emphasis on torque...

Passion crept day by day and eventually I succumbed to it, if you get what I mean ;). Eventually, dream turned into reality and I had a 4-2-1 extractor customized for my car. As the local car accessory industry does not have an off-the-shelf unit specifically for my model, my extractor had to...

While the use of a K&N air filter makes for easier maintenance, will it improve torque?:bigsmile:

Unlike most cars that have battery latch which can be locked with a spanner, the 407 battery latch that secures the battery in place requires a plug, extension rod and ratchet. Does anyone know the size of that plug? :blink: I need to keep a spare in the glove compartment in case of a breakdown.

I added a thick copper power cable (forgot power rating but it's about the size of a pencil) from the alternator to the positive battery terminal of my KIA Spectra and all my 3 batteries have lasted at least 2 1/2 years replaced only to avoid inconvenience of a breakdown eventhough the meter...

I am curious to know whether I will get better torque from remapping or a complete exhaust system upgrade i.e. 4-2-1 extractor, mid and rear exhaust. :confused: Any advise?
