My 200+ horsepower Maruti S-Cross: Custom performance muffler added

The current ODO is 83,000+ km. No new mods are planned for now.

BHPian Dr.Naren recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Here is the list of all the previous modifications made by Dr.Naren on his Maruti Suzuki S-Cross 1.6L.

New Modification: Performance muffler by Engineering Exponents

Jayant suggested trying a performance muffler as it would help improve the top end.

OE Muffler

The design looks very restrictive. Inlet and outlet are on the same side, the exhaust gas flow is rotated around inside the muffler

Engineering Exponents made a custom SS304 muffler for my car.

I have driven more than 2000 km after this mod. These are my observations:

1. Good improvement in mid-range and top-end
2. Nice sound and the engine is free-revving
3. Minor improvement in fuel economy
4. Smoke levels are higher now

IC outlet hose fixed

The IC outlet hose was slightly compressed

Engineering exponents fixed it with a silicone hose

Road trip: Bangalore to Kanyakumari

It was a fantastic drive. The road is brilliant after Salem with minimal traffic, all the way to Kanyakumari.

The current ODO is 83,000+ km. No new mods planned, will get the service done after the Aurangabad trip which is happening soon
