Hi, a little quick help needed

Hi guys, i'm new to posting queries here, but i need a little serious quick help/advice. i have a Swift and had added a K&N filter and a FFE with headers . i had a problem with my end can (had a little rusting and a crack) so i have sent it back for a replacement. in the meantime the guy whom i get it fixed from, have temporarily fitted my stock muffler. i wanted to check and confirm although it is only temporary, will it affect the engine in any sort by using the 4 x 2 x 1 header and the free flow with stock muffler. the car is running fine for now, but want to make sure if its safe to continue running it on like this. i am expected to get back the end can in a weeks times.

Would greatly appreciate your responses and help on this one.

No need to worry. You can use your stock muffler with your FFE headers.

Hey Vikram, thanks for that, just wanted to be sure of it, cos while driving i heard like engine knocking on lower RPMs. Do you think that is got to do anything with the muffler.

Engine knocking cant be because of the muffler. It might be because of the headers. From where did you get the headers?

as far as alloys are conserned , you can contact gautam , they are impoters of all type of alloy wheels in india and can give you a better deal .for demo you can view a part of their range of alloy wheels Here
. but tell me one thing , is yokos that cheap as you have mentioned ???

Vikram, There is no vibration on the floor. its a very mild knocking kinda sound.. the sound or the feel isnt as hard as a real knock.. but a very similar mild sound typically on a slower pick up between 1 - 2000 RPM, if i push on the pedal the sound goes off after 2000 RPM. but is happening on all gears.

I got my 14 inch platis for 11k at mumbai and yokos at 3100 195/60/r14 at bangalore. 15 inch Yokos at 2900 is definately a steal deal.

It is quite possible that the tyres are a grey import.
205/55R15 yoko s-drives retail for 4700 woth bill and warranty.
So the ones that you must have inquired about would be without bill & warranty.
