Free up the exhaust . Mine uses a stock system I removed the front muffler from it was $105 new. Plus 20 dollar for abit of pipe to fill were the muffler went And Extractors would be a good place to start . A j3 chip might be the go after that . I've just fitted a largeish wade grind and a custom j3 on LPG with the good exhaust. See what it turns out in s few weeks power wise. Cost me a fair bit to do as I've had the head reco and I cleaned then ports up abit my self . I've spend nearly 2000 to do the head and cam and adjustable cam gear and j3 chip . And that's me doin all the labor . Minus recoing the head.

How much are you looking to spend? how much can you do yourself, a cheap upgrade but takes time and a but of electronic ability, first I would remove the rearmost muffler (or front one even better would be a 2.5 inch exhaust) follows by a broadband intake (unless your Ute was originally fitted with one) followed by an ea cam (or an aftermarket cam) and a set of extractors is a good start

The best bang for your buck IMO is cam regrind, a set of blue top magna injectors and a chip.  Bout $1200 in parts, cam and injectors you could do yourself, chip is a bit specialised to stuff around with yourself though.  I have a bit more done to mine, but it pumps out 220+Kw at the wheels.
