Yeah you will get a better note from it - look at getting a blueflame or custom system - you will notice it but its a lot of money for a tiny gain TBH.

Depends how much you want to spend and how far you want to go with it.

As said i would put the money into getting it looking good.

Hard to find the 2.0 8v listed on most wed sites. Your best bet is to email known company's to get the best price  :wink:
