One of the changes, to fit the 5.3 was a change to the firewall for clearance! Not just changing some engine mounts and dropping in a V8.

Sell it and buy an 08 with the 5.3.

The I5s are fine, your driving a nearly 3 Ton brick, not a hot rod.

If you need more performance from your 5, add an Intake, Exhaust, and a PCM tune.

2 - to add performance , how much it will cost , and is it going to harm the Engin , ? any side effects ?!!

you should buy an H2 instead, because they are easier things to bolt on it to give you more power

I have a 2006 with the 5 cylinder and my catalytic converter closest to my exhaust manifold is bad. Where can I find headers or a custom exhaust for the H-3? Upgrade the computer?

Thanks,
Stephen

A good clean 08 alpha with low miles your looking at 30k+ and you would get maybe 23-24k for your base model. For that price difference you could super charge your base model and change out your intake and do a pcm tune and some other little mods. That would be giving you easily 335 hp and your torque should jump about 35-40% which should blow the **** out of the alpha v8 and you could save a few bucks.

A word of advice if buying a car.

TEST DRIVE IT FIRST!!!

That way you can find out how it drives BEFORE you buy it.

Personally I've found the 3.7 fine - I don't drive like Lewis Hamilton, if I did I'd have a sports car instead.
