Even if that is true, how easy is that to implement and what are the approximate costs involved
You've got it backwards, to get low end, you need longer trumpets and vice versa. Keep in mind you will lose some top-end if you do this. Optra 1.6 uses dual-path trumpets to solve this compromise.

However this is not a job for DIYs or self taught mechanics. The expertise you are looking for exists only in Coiambatore to my knowledge.

Swift gearbox is all new and not lifted from Esteem.
