Does this exhaust modding help with power and will it screw my mpg?Without Surf And Unhappy

Nice idea i think with the side pipe and Snorkel though as this might quench my lust for noise!
Ive got an intercooler and on oil cooler to fit from the shed too!
I think this will have to do as thats about my budget!Without Surf And Unhappy

1) My snorkel makes the truck sound like an inboard diesel in a boat at low revs. Higher revs doesn't really sound much different unless you've got the windows open.
2) The side exit exhaust isn't a great deal louder, and nor does it change the power significantly. Why would it? You aint putting in any more fuel, and the original exhaust doesn't seem to be particularly restrictive. You're only producing the wrong side of 140bhp anyway...
3) Petrol engines ignition systems need waterproofing if you want them to survive deep water.
I'm sure there's ways of making the Surf more powerful, but I doubt the return for the money is worth it. Towing, you're never gonna be fast, and if you are, you'd be better making sure you can stop too. Big brakes are gonna cost you.Cutting steps in the roof of the world
