The Geo Metro 1.0L generally brings fuel economy to your mind first, and last of all it brings performance. However, I think these little things have potential! I mean, the Suzuki Swift with the 1.3L engine (same engine the 1.3L Metro uses) can have up to 450HP after spending thousands of dollars on engine upgrade, exhaust upgrades, intake upgrades, turbocharger kits, etc. The 1.0L might not have as much potential as the 1.3L but it still can manage more than the measly 49-55HP it puts out.
So, let me introduce a simple concept I thought up. After seeing some interesting exhaust cut-outs on the Speed Channel I spent some time thinking this system up. It would allow a "stealth" mode that would be very quiet for those long higher trips or when your sneaking around at night. However, at the flip of a switch you can switch over to a turbocharger with nothing more than a straight-flow muffler in the exhaust system.
An interesting thing side-feature is the ability to adjust the cut-outs to different partially open positions. Thus you could change your backpressure on the fly.
Let me know what you guys think, and leave any suggestions. Perhaps I should rearrange the set-up of resonators and catalytic converter? Maybe I should go with smaller resonators? I choice these because Vibrant and Walker are supposedly some of the quietest systems out there. I added the Aero resonator just because I wanted two resonators but didn't want to pay the price of two Vibrants. Also, I have trouble finding small resonators other than the stock kind at Advanced Auto Parts.
Sorry about the size. This is as big as I can get it with Photobucket. If you save it and zoom in on it you should be able to real everything fine.
