Save your money only way to make it faster is swap in a faster engine or boost what you have. Will cost alot more than 150 dollars

Good luck with that. You have unreasonable expectations for what that amount of money will buy you, I think.

If it were my car, I would do a full tune up and oil change with that $150.

I see you're not listening. Spend the money if you want.

Full tune up. Otherwise absolutely nothing. Cars are an expensive hobby.

the headers wont do nothing when the stock exhaust is like 1.25" and the header collector will be 2.5" ..... putting a muffler at the end isnt as good as getting a full cat back. ... with just 150 bux i would just give it a tune up... keep saving ur pennies.....most car builds on here didnt happen over night with the first 150 bux we saved
