Hey everyone!!

2 questions:

1.Which would be the best clutch to go with? Right now im thinking about spec stage 2. How is clutch masters and ACT? Does anyone know the pedal pressure on both of these? Has anyone had any problems with their clutch, slipping, etc?

2. Im really broke right now and I dont have enough money right now for a full cat exhaust, so has anyone run a 240 with an sr without exhaust? I heard it would be loud as hell and give some extra horses. Or, should I just stay at stock pipeing until I have enough to buy an exhaust(about 3 weeks!)? I also heard that staying at stock piping could damage the turbo? What should I do??????

Thanks 4 all ur help

P.S.- Ive seen a lot of people arguing on the last couple threads, if u think what im saying is stupid or offending you in any way just dont post anything cause its not worth arguing over!!

when i checked out my front clip, it had no exhaust from the turbo exhaust housing on, and it was hella loud, sounded like a gt mustang running on 3 cylinders, not tight, but maybe drop it after the cat, that would souind nice, i think

Clutchmasters and ACT clutches are some of the best USDM clutches. Pedal pressure is a little more hard but that's with all new clutches.Stage 2 and Stage 3 are pretty much the same thing (i prefer 3).High performance clutches don't slip unless you pullin 500 horses on a Stage 2.

Heavy Thoatle has them http://www.srswap.com/ , They are great people to deal with too. They have SPEC also. Just go under the Clutch and Trans. section.

you do not wat a stage 3. What HT doesnt tell you is that the Stage 3 is available in several different materials.. they dont give you the option to choose. They sent me one in CERAMIC.. which makes an extreamly loud grinding noise if you try to use slip engagement.
