Headers, TRD exhaust. Original car had 138HP at crank. I am around 145-147. At 2200LBs it is still pretty quick, has some of the best brakes ever put on a production car and handles like nothing else in its price bracket. I have also owned a 280Z, Mazda RX-7, 350Z and a lot of American "sports" cars. None of them will corner like this thing.

EDit: MR-S cost $23098 MSRP 12 years ago. That is why there were not a lot of them sold in the US. If the FR-S comes in at around that price I guess it would be a real bargain.
