Hi all bros & Forte owners, You know what!
Today I went for a ride on my Forte, set air-con temp @ 24.5 degree very cool. Now I even feel I got MORE ZROOM and power than before. On the highway, more low end Torque at 2000rpm for overtaking, very smooth going up ECP exit from beach towards katong. I even test my pick-up on red light junction with a BMW MPV and beat him. No joke! Cheers for for all kia Cerato Forte!

Hi Kapitan,
You can ask for the 3/4" inside dia. and 1 1/2" outside dia. type. Don't go beyond this size
looks too fat and it's very difficult to insert between the big and small aluminium pipes when you do a wrap around insulation.
