More power?

I drive a 95 tacoma, 2.7L. I know this truck is not meant to be fast, but I would like to get a few more ponies out of it. Anybody know any easy ways to do this?

there is no easy or cheap way to gain more than 7 or so horsepower, a few good things to do are:

remake your stock intake up to the tb (throttle body)
get a cat back exhaust WITH a resonator (cars sound crappy without one in my opinion)
take your engine apart and get the head ported and polished (this is a bit expensive but will really open the engine up)

those are the first things you may consider, there are a lot of things you can do but for a real increase in power there is no cheap way.

2wicked it looks like you have dual exhaust, if you have two mufflers its not oging to sound the same as a single muffler with no resonator
