Try it, I know many people are wondering weather to tune the petrol non-turbo car, because it doesn't have as big effect as it has on turbo cars. You could then explain the difference. It should go at least a bit more "user friendly".I say that, because the petrol engines (at least 1.4 engine) in i30's (and Ceed's of course) have a problem that they reach the max. horsepower - 109 hp at high revs (@ 6,200 rpm !!!) and max torque at 4,200 rpm. I know few people, that decided not to buy Ceed/i30, because of that. The fact, that it reaches max hp/torque so late (at such rpm's) means that you have to rev it more - which means less comfortable ride, louder engine (because you have to drive above 4,000 rpms all the time, if you want to "get somewhere") and most of all, higher fuel consumption.I say, go for it. Do you maybe have an info how much hp/torque should the car have, and most important at which rev's ? I believe that's the most important thing here. I've also driven my uncle's Ceed few times and I think it would be much more, as I've said, "user-friendly" if the hp and torque were a bit "fixed".

Does it improve a lot of performance than a normal one?I know it's lighter => better acceleration. But more hp?

Exhaust will ONLY increase Power when ALL the components will be replaced!And don´t forget,it must be Stainless Steel (also inside) in min. 2 inch Size!
