hi bro, that the problem with Singapore drive. Thinking putting bigger exhaust and the sound loud loud the car can run fast fast that is wrong.
See the car like Audi, BMW, Marc, jaguar why their car exhuast not noise but still or yet faster then others.
Bros is the engine

You go put a loud loud exhaust and run with a stock Koup I can tell you for sure on the pick up might win abit only but when coming to 3rd gear you are game over the stock koup will over take you, why we know because we try it before. Ture the engine will get most out of it all the car mod, light mod, min mod or heavy mod or very very heavy mod( track car, F1) all need to ture the car to the max.

If not talking about parts upgrades or mods, just improve pick up. My 2 cents, 1.) Keep car as light weight as possible. meaning don't put unnecessary things in your car. That includes the really unnecessary stuffs , weight of Driver, Passenger & tank of fuel. 2.) Footwork on throttle, rpm, & gear change 3.) Tires

i'm light footer, tends to be slow at start. but u if get the correct timing on the changing of the gears, pick will certainly be ok.
for auto, i suggest step n release the accelerator than step again. normally pple get it wrong by just stepping hard. It only rev up but still not fast, cos the gear still maintain at gear 1, 2. the release is to let it move up to higher gear.

So end of the day we should keep our koup stock and it will be good enough Because of our Koup is not a perform car just avery normal car. You can a Honda Type-R 2.0L with just a simple ture and from 230BHP to 260BHP and after adding item in to the car can goes up to 280BHP. But our Koup CAN'T do that at all so Bro just do a normal up-grade can lo. eg change the RIM, drop-in K&N filter...... for a better pick up. If you want more go to ture the engine

Agree with bro beng. Can also look at improving power to weight ratio. Change bonnet n boot to CF, switch to alloy rims with a good set of tires, sport seats n steering, remove unecessary stuff in car and maybe look at after-market exhaust. Then do a basic tune if desired.

in the first place, during test drive u should already know koup is weak in pickup. in my opinion no matter how good the pick up many pple still feel weak.

bravo manual is 150 stock......then there is a higher option i think is 170-190. but the option don seem widely available.
anyway ppl just bring to the popular tuner and churn out 170 and up. but FC wise volkswagen better....
