Am I wasting my money?!

Im wanting to get the Gibson single exit Performance exaust for my 2.3L Ranger. Both of my parents think I am wasting my money, but I think it sounds cool, and it will give me more horse power, torqe and better gas mileage. What should I do?

For a performance mod, you are wasting your money in my view. What will you pick up, another 5 hp tops? Added to say 95 (real world) HP, if that? A much better performance mod that will pay off would be go through the whole truck and change everything to syn. fluids and DOT5.
Or add a limited slip rear axle to help out that 2wd.

The power gain will be minimal, if you want a little more sound it's good. I got the stainless system since it will never need to be replaced.
