how to gain low end?

so when you put on an aftermarket exhaust and you end up losing a little bit of the low end. What are some bolt-on mods you could do to get back it back and even get some gains in low-end. I don't want togo with FI. Sorry if this is a rookie question. Thanks in advance for help.

Eric

Try a UR underdrive pulley, that's a start. Other than that, I don't think there's much you can do for your lowend.

If you've got a good exhaust, which it looks like you do, you recover your lost tq earlier in your rpm band so it shouldn't be as noticeable. Just drive it no less than 4k rpm everywhere you go

you should only lose low end torque when going aftermarket true dual exhausts..if you stay away from those you should be fine in the low end

but with the true duals youll gain it all back and more in the end..

pullies = 0.1 second gained in the 1/4 mile.

change your final drive ring and pinion. probably the most expensive (runner up to FI), but probably the most noticable.
