Nawwzzz is a quick cheap performance gain.

3" dual exhaust? Dude those pipes are too big for a n/a engine. Probably losing a couple hp there...

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the bigass exhaust. Get yourself some gears and a tuner. Gears will really wake your car up.

okay....it may not be 3"...it looks like it but i havent got down and measured. and nos isnt good for a stock motor i figured. i would rather not blow up my car ha. but i considered a tuner just dont know what kind to get. any ideas? and what kind of gears can i get without losing the top speed but will still get me off the line? i dnt want a drag car.

Nawwzzz is fine for a stock motor so long as you keep it under a 75-125 shot.

Otherwise get 4.10 gears that'll give a BIG kick in the pants!

4.10 gears are too big if you do alot of highway driving IMO. I think 3.73 are good and don't cut off top end speed.
