Replace Cabin A/C Filter

I never replace the A/C filter which is located under the front drawer compartment since bought this Giant. 

The bad smell inside the cabin is caused by dirty A/C filter.
Take out the filter from its casing. The filter is dirty, black in color.

I bought a new filter. Cost me RM26. Much lower quality but i want to try it anyway since this part is not a safety part and is considered cheap enough for me. The paper material is soften than OEM. Actually, used to survey the filter at Autobacs Klang Sentral last week. Priced at RM165, branded PIAA. Must be a good quality in term of filtering a dust & material, but to me its very expensive. Can`t afford the filter. Below, photos of filter which i bought at one of my favourite spare part shop at Batu Pahat this morning.

The OEM filter (dirty) vs new filter.

Change Exhaust Muffler Tip...

Alphard AX and MZ/MZG model for 1st gen do not have muffler tip at all. Only Alphard AS/MS model do have a round muffler tip as a standard to make `sportier` look.

It very easy to change muffler tip. There are many type of muffler tip - oval,round,double hole,box shape. It is up to the owner follow its own interest. For me, I change to oval type muffler tip. Bring Alphard to one of the exhaust workshop at my wife hometown - Pendang.

The formen cut the existing non-muffler tip (standard) , shorten it. Then welded the new muffler tip which i choosen before - Oval type. Now, my Alphard look more sportier. hehehe... Cost me RM160 for the muffler tip + labour charge. I am  very satisfied with my new muffler.
