When people tell you that its more than the worth of your car they are just talking out their ass. I hate when people tell you to sell your car and get one with a manual. Guess they dont know the trouble of selling a car then looking for the one you want. Its only going to cost you between 1200 and 1800 dollars depending on where you go. Most people spend near 1200 on Just Intake Header and Exhaust which adds maybe 10hp, so if were talking a waste of money hello................. A 5spd will make you half a sec faster than your auto. anywhoe goodluck man.
