I think you'll find that the TD05-16g will be perfect for your car, and if you want to get the lower down power, get a custom 3" dump pipe and 3" exhaust. This ...

Pretty cheap if you do it yourself - exhaust manifold from the 2.4 bolts straight onto the 2.8. Most people recommend a 2 1/2 or 3 inch dump then a 2 1/2 inch pipe from there to get ...
