Hello!

Since you posted in the exhaust forum.... WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO START! Get a nice exhaust, something like Magnaflow, with a nice flowing (and sounding of course) muffler. Possibly a high flow cat as well?

Well you won't get much power, but you can pick a muffler of your choice and get an exhaust shop to install it relatively cheap. It will give a better sound.

Your only choice for real power is an engine swap.
