If it's knocking like it says in your sig., then switch up to premium gas. An exsaust will help with knocking, where as an intake will increase the knocking. New cams will run you a pretty penny & won't give a whole lot more power without some other mods as well.
Just one of the many tech links from the main site and the v6 faqs have some good theory as well.<p>good luck

a lot of people on here will say to swap the motor...and after a while of resisting, i'm giving in. a b6t swap in the SOHC is easy, no wiring involved, just gotta cut a hole in the hood to get it to fit. depending on where you live, you can get these motors for fairly cheap from either www.corksport.com (located in oregon) or from www.noyanusa.com (located in VA) those are the only 2 i know of.
