For exhaust, Berk Catted Front Pipe and Invidia N1 Catback with Titanium Tips.

I haven't found a header solution I like but there is a very good shop down here called RPM (Richard's Performance Muffler) that I will most likely pay to fabricate me a high quality header that meets my requirements. I'll probably have it designed to replace the factory overpipe as well since some of the better header options seem to be going that route.

Sounds intense! I was looking at Invidia before I found the Perrin catback. Now I'm going Perrin catback/pulley/intake. Good luck with the headers and the overpipe!

Perrin makes great gains but I really like the aggressive sound of the Invidia Careful when installing the pulley!

And thanks, the custom fabbed header will be a bit down the line...

Yeah, I will be. I've been reading about it and it seems that everyone just reuses the OEM bolt, so that what I'll do. And yeah, Perrin does, and with the S-pipe it sounds even better. And Invidia's do sound pretty great as well

As far as the pulley, I was mostly talking about making sure you re-align the pin when you install the new pulley. Rather to try and make sure it doesn't come out when you remove the first one since it's a pain to put back. I did a lightweight crank pulley on my last car and many people had the same exact issue. I did it right the first time and the mod worked out beautifully!

I'm pretty stoked!

Ohhhhh! Alright! Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely try my best! what kind of improvements did you see from installing it?

Mostly throttle response. RPM's rose quicker and also fell a bit quicker. Typical for what you'd expect out of a lightweight crank pulley or anything that really reduces parasitic losses.

Awesome. That's what I was expecting to happen! Thanks again!!
