Hey Dude,

I've never heard of one and even if one did exist, at best it would give you an extra two or three horsepower. Totally worthless and not worth the effort in my opinion. You are much better off installing an aftermarket exhaust and possibly intake. Even with that you might see an increase of five horsepower at most.

A lot of what this guy did to his 2.2 n/a is worthwhile. He also talks about the PP6 a tiny bit.

Keep in mind that he has the 2nd generation single-port exhaust 2.2 which is different than your dual-port exhaust.
