If you want to joke around there are other threads for that. If you do not want to help me out please do not post anything.

Re: Making a 2.3L faster??
Oh I'm just jesting with you. From what I have seen on other threads a new exhaust system does help a little but overall the power you have now is about it.

Re: Making a 2.3L faster??
it's a 4 cylinder in a pick up. do a v8 swap if you want power, that's like.... 2x your cylinders if my math is right.

You can get an all new exhaust from STS. That's the only "exhaust" system that will actually double your hp
