Complete Review and Analysis of ONE FC 3: War of the Lions

By Thinesh John Ganesan

On a night where only 2 fights went the distance, ONE FC 3: War of the Lions’ stacked card did not disappoint one bit.

Although the likes of Masakazu Imanari, Tatsuya Kawajiri and Melvin Manhoef were scheduled to compete, that didn’t stop the sold-out crowd at the Singapore Indoor Stadium from complete elation, when they witnessed their very own home girl Nicole Chua pick up a win, after she submitted a very resilient Jeet Toshi. Pandemonium erupted from the stands, after the country witnessed their first ever female professional MMA fighter win.

Furthermore, that bout also marked the first taste of Women’s MMA in ONE Fighting Championship.

However, from the highs, the night also provided some lows. Not from a neutral’s perspective, though.

Yodsanan Sityodtong, who perhaps received the largest ovation of the night, did not manage to put his world-class Boxing and Muay-Thai skills to good use, as his much less-favoured opponent Jiang Long Yun submitted him via Rear Naked Choke. Northern Tiger’s submission win silenced the crowd for a moment or two.

Maruti Ertiga review - Will the Ertiga move you?

The market for estate or weekend cars has never really taken off in India. Many manufacturers have tried their hand at convincing Indian car buyers that an estate makes more sense if you are keen on travelling with your entire family and its luggage.

Fiat was amongst the first with the Palio Weekend, Maruti tried too with the Baleno Altura and so did Tata Motors. In fact, Tata Motors' punch line - “Because we like to carry our world with us” – for the Indigo Marina, was not really off the mark in terms of its import, but the car just couldn't capture the imagination of buyers looking for versatility and space.

However, the fact is that there have always been a small section of buyers for multi-purpose vehicles for their road presence and the fact that they came with diesel engines. It is also true that we Indians still want to carry our world with us and that includes our extended families. With many nuclear families even in the current ‘neo-urban' context being larger than five members, the need for a six or seven seater passenger vehicle has been and continues to be there.

Would the lack of a rear silencer on a car cause it to 'bog down' when first pulling away, mainly from cold?

Due to corrosion, the rear silencer snapped from the rest of the system. It has been removed and is getting repaired very soon. I am just a little worried the symptom i describe could be something else.


The absence of the rear silencer, by itself, shouldn't cause a lack of pulling power in the engine.

The fact that you refer to a rear silencer suggests that you may also have a front silencer. If this is the case, if the front silencer and the catalytic converter are all of a similar vintage the failure of one may indicate corrosion or imminent failure of another.

If the baffles in the front silencer have corroded as well, your exhaust may be partially blocked, which would give exactly the symptoms you describe.

You should not be driving the car anyway. Apart from the legal consideration it is possible for exhaust fumes to enter the car from an incomplete exhaust system.


The back box can often create back pressure in the exhaust system, with it removed there could be a possible drop of in performance.
However as the problem seems to be mainly in the morning when the engine is could, I would advice having the cold engine start circuit on the fuel system checked out.
Ja.


agree with steve s.get the rest of the system checked.

whats the best rear silencer replacement for my astra 53 reg gsi, i want a nice sound but not loud and oval or

im about to buy a rear silencer for my 53reg astra gsi and and want a nice sound but not to loud, what make do i go for and will a oval one look best? thanks.


Id say any of the Stainless steel boxes from Peco, the offer a wide range of styles and they are not 'over the top' sound wise.
Unless you want it to sound like death himself in which case 'Rage' or 'Powerflow' are the boys.

what's a rear silencer, and how does it work?

im getting a new car soon its a fiat grande punto 3dr and i was looking at this site selling rear silencers and i dont know what they are.


A Silencer or Muffler is the part of an exhaust system that quietens down the partial explosions that are dumped out of your internal combustion engine into the exhaust pipe.

Noise is just pressure fluctuations.
Explosions are VERY loud noises.

An oscillating pressure wave, has what is called a node, an amplitude, and a frequency. The frequency is dependent on temperature, moisture in the gas, the type of gas mixture.

There are many frequencies of differing amplitude, superimposed or added together, to form a noise.

It is possible to reflect a pressure wave so that most of it cancels out.

Just as it is possible to punch into some foam and the foam absorbs your punch, and so does the internals of a silencer absorb explosions / pressure pulses.

Better silencers do not cause resistance to the flow of gas.
You can usually see straight through these types, but are a little louder, though generally legal, if tested and adjusted ( by adding and removing packing).

A sports muffler is a perforated tube with stainless steel wool wound tightly around it, over this layer is a layer of glass wool, and then fibre glass wool. This perforated tube (and wound on absorber) is sealed into an outer tube to stop gas leaks.

Is a rear silencer and a back box the same thing?


Also, Is it easy to replace? Just a couple of bolts?
