13 WHP seems like a lot. is that dyno tested?

doesn't headers void you warranty if anything happens with the engine?

10HP gain to the wheels? Not quite correct. Actually, wrong.

Are you aware that the pulley does not make one extra peak HP for you?

I asked the question about lightweight pulley horse power gain.

Here are Josh@Stillen's very own words on this issue: « Re: Pulleys worth it? (Throckmorton) 7:56 PM 7/15/2009

"Throckmorton.. you're exactly right. Underdrive and lightweight crank pulleys do NOT increase the horsepower of the car, they increase the power delivered to the wheels, making the driveline more efficient.

The factory pulley is a cast steel monster, which is infinitely cheaper process to manufacture, versus cutting a billet pulley out of a solid chunk of aluminum. It's much easier for the engine to turn, and that free'd up power is delivered to the driveline."

now this is just my opinion but im sure most will agree, but the single exhaust doesnt look right and the fitment on the exhaust doesnt look right either. it could be the video or the fact that im using really s***ty speakers on my comp but i dont like the tone of the exhaust. now keep in my mind this is my opinion and that is your car so do what you feel is right.

the headers will definitely void the warranty automatically datz if the dealer sees it lol and as far as the crankshaft pulley it dosent gain hp itz better since itz less stress to pull since the stock pulley weighs like 8 to 10 pounds. itz dyno tested to as much as 10hp gain to the wheels due to less weight

i totally agree, the single pipe makes me think of the kid in high school with a honda that just has the tip on his exuast. i dont digg the tone either, but like noshift said, to each his own.

The Racingline Short throw shifter is on sale right now till the end of the week. Won't necessarily make you faster but if your car is 6 speed it'll definitely make it funner to drive
