Default need some power

ok so ive got a turner chip and a K and N filter on my ti. what can i do to get some decent gains of power without going FI.ill probably supercharge it eventually but i dont hvae the money right now for that. what will exhaust do for me and what would you guys suggest and how much should i expect to pay for it. what can i do for internal work. just put me on the right track cause even with the chip, this 1.8 is kinda weak. my brother is really good at porting heads.... where could i source a spare head for him to work on and for about how much and what gains could i expect from that?

Better sound is all you can expect from an exhaust system on a ti.

Less than 10 HP gin from the Supersprint system, and I believe that to be the best (highest gain) system available. It carries a similarly high price (~$800.00).

Not worth it in my opinion.

If you get a blower later, exhaust may make more sense/gain.
