russj249 2 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 they are pretty simple really as an engine. If you want to do any research however, the engine code is AAA. There are a lot of people on here that know anything you need to know about them so a question will almost always get a good answer.Do try to use the search bit on the forum though as a lot of people tend to post a lot of repetitive questions up.If you're looking towards exhaust side of things.. you might want to look at a 6 branch exhaust manifold. A relatively simple, cheap modification that goes really well with de-cat and exhaust. Give a nice burble to the exhaust too. A Raceland manifold is the one you want to go for, but you have to note there's an adapter for converting the exhaust cat bolts from 2 bolt to 3 bolt (you'll see what I mean lol)Put that combination with a BMC CDA air filter and you'll soon notice a difference!
