Thanks. Longfella said the same thing. Once I sell my OFT I'll put that towards header and overpipe

You'll have better throttle response with the pulleys, and more power with headers.

You won't know which you'll prefer until you drove the car

That's a tough choice right there

Though I will say, I very much prefer the added throttle response.

If you want better throttle response, do the driveshaft. Its an awesome upgrade and not too expensive.

If you do flex fuel and more power.... Upgrade the clutch with a lighter flywheel and driveshaft. Keep the stock pulleys on there (IMO)

I'm going to miss my FRS 😢

I can get a clutch and lightweight flywheel for the same cost as a Tomei UEL header...

It's not a tough choice. Pulleys do nothing unless you are at idle or throttle blipping for a rev match and even then it is mostly a placebo effect.

A header is much better performance mod.

I disagree. Having an extra 10-20hp isn't as good as perfect throttle response.

Anyways... The best answer is get everything on sale, that way you have everything instead of choosing

You don't want to see the list of things I have for you to do if throttle response is your goal....

Ended up getting an ACT clutch with lightweight flywheel and lightweight pulley set. Header and overpipe can wait until after I do coilovers.
