Define ridicuous please.

I think the $1000-1200 range is quite low for rebuilding a different engine and then swapping it in.

Figure a minimum of 30HP/TQ for $1200 or $40 per HP & TQ

Then try $600 for a quasi dual for 10 HP & 6 TQ or $60 per HP & $100 per TQ.

Also the 3L will perk up the entire power band the full amount where as exhaust mainly gives you top end power.


Outside of a K&N filter, optimizing your own TB, or your Y-pipe the 3L is really the best bang for the buck there is.
