Hi all, I am now running atr45sat with stock dump, hks front pipe, stock cat(empty inside ) , trust pe2 catback on my gtt. Only manage to get round 350 [email protected] told me to the main issue is the dump pipe. I have a few options in my mind now, wishing to seek advise from experts here. 
1: possible to get a 3inch elbow dump (tomei/hpi) to pair up with my hks front pipe and  a xforce  hi flow cat? 
2: hks elbow dump ,hks front pipe ,xforce hi flow cat.

3:tomei/hpi elbow , with Japspeed full 3inch front pipe, xforce hi flow cat

my concern is the fact that the inlet of my hks front is 2.5 Inch, only the outlet is 3inch, if I use a 3inch elbow, will it affect the flow? (That’s why I am contemplating to get the japspeed front pipe, looks like it’s 3inch both inlet and outlet ) 

Ps:due to local authority restriction , I need to have my cat intact , and I cannot do ewg. 

any advise will be greatly appreciated

Well, it’s really a pain in the ass for car modification here. Yes I can run a cat with single piece bell mouth, but since the oem part come with elbow and a connecting front pipe, I am not allowed to change to a single piece . Therefore my options are limited , and I wish to make the best out of the limited options, so any more advise will be greatly appreciated !

Fitting a bigger turbo is somewhat in the grey zone, usually if it’s still on factory’s mounting position, you can get away with it. As for the exhaust system, they are super strict with it, we are only allowed SOME jasma approved catback . And as for front pipe, I am using hks, but I wrap it with the stock shield . I am located in Singapore .

That's our GTSBoy, doesn't just think outside the box; he cuts the box in half and puts a flange on it. Ideal way to go. 

For a real oem look, you could even weld on some brackets to the dump and bolt the stock heatshield to it....possibly.

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
