Hi there.......question, would it make a difference in peformance once i've done a carbie rebuild and a muffler upgrade? (*note* havn't done it yet but planning too)
coz my car struggles up hills even if i shifted my auto stick to gear 2.
My car is a 1986 TM Magna 1st Gen

muffler will do nothing for gains... u need to re-do whole exhaust system with extractors for real gains.
