    you could go with a larger diameter exhaust, nothing too huge or you'll lose power. When I put my cat back on I noticed a gain in mid range pull. Shouldn't be too bad to get one custom bent at a muffler shop.
    A really good tune up would probably help you out too (seeing as your teg is fourteen almost fifteen years old) unless you've done that already.
    Good luck

    Sell the car and buy something with a larger engine. Short of FI (forced induction) you will only be able to increase top end hp (not low end tq) by small amounts with that car.
    You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
