a ypipe is or headers, and a blower increase lowend torque. and even with those it's ok. you have a rather small v-6 motor you aren't going to get a lot of torque out of it. but these motors and sing very well up top.

you have a gle so i assume its auto unless you did a swap. you dont really have much hope for low end power.

if you want a ypipe get a warpspeed. it's the cheapest and the quality if just as good as the exspensive ones. don't go budget, got a few fitment issues. and the only knock on warpspeed is that their ypipe have issues on the 3.5. go warpspeed been running mine for 6 months and it's awesome.

for my low end, my best mods were timing advance, removing ac during cooler months and light wheels. with headers i mainly felt it in mid to upper rpms. car also felt stronger down low after i took the intake out and put a ported stock air box in.

The ypipe will do nothing until about 4000RPM's. The timing advance will help for the low end.
