Don't fit a big aftermarket exhaust, it kills what (little) torque these engines have as standard. Decat is worth it, but keep the exhaust a small/stock diameter or it will resonate and sound like shit.
Other thing is the cone filter situation. The airbox sits above the exhaust manifold. Not a problem stock as the airbox deflects most of the heat, but a lot of people fit a cone in the same position and it just breathes all the hot air in = mega fail.
Most imports have them already, but the front and rear braces do make a nice difference and make it feel a little bit less wobbly. Bolt-in half cages are even better
This is some good info! I did wonder why people relocated the cone...!
I've got an upper strut brace fitted and I like the idea of the lower brace...
