>Do you know what your new power and torque figures are? The car has not been dyno-ed but I am told at least 12hp over the stock 140hp so that should make it 152hp. To have the car dyno-ed in Malaysia is an expensive exercise so I don't plan to, furthermore, I am satisfied as it is but I told...

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...

A very good and interesting reply. I will keep them in mind. Thank you very much

Yes, I see and agree with your point. So does that mean the triptronic mode should not be used if a driver has fuel economy in mind? :blink:

Yes, yes. I mean the auto gearbox with the so-called "tiptronic" thing. So when you mean 'autobox in manual mode', you meant in "triptronic" mode? :embarrest:

Technically, why is that so when they are different? :confused:

Often one makes comparison in fuel consumption between a manual and automatic gearbox but here, I wish to know in cars with automatic gearbox that can shift between automatic and manual setting, which delivers better fuel consumption assuming both are driven in the same driving style? :confused:

Will do

In Malaysia, it appears there are 2 opposing opinions on the looks of the 407: some love it and some hate it :blink: And to think the designer took months to come up with it. Oh well, each to his own. You can't please everyone. I say live and let die.

The 407 is a petrol version. I've been reading other sections of TorqueCars and will adopt the 4-2-1 extractor mod first followed by a remap later though the whole exercise will not be so soon as I have to first acquire the 407 from the Mrs. so wish me well :toung: :embarrest:

The Peugeot service centre mechanic said there is but how many I did not ask. As for the 4-2-1 extractor, it has to be customized as this particular model is not available locally but I know the exhaust specialist who can do it.

Yes

Yes to question 1 but to question 2, who said I don't intent to change the rest of the exhaust system? I definitely will. I was just being specific. Still my question was not answered which is not really the answer I sought.
