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.

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
