I know some of you are probably getting annyoed with my questions so here is one last one.What should I do with 700 bucks. I am doing the flywheel and clutch here in a couple weeks and planned on doing down pipes. However it looks like the trubo upgrade that will be done next summer requires a 5 bolt DP. I think it would be stupid to get a 4 bolt now just to get a 5 bolt next summer. So what should I do with the money I was going to spend on the DPs?(I already have JWT ECU, Intake, Exhaust, Cats removed) Here are my options...-UD pulley set-3 in test pipes(I had my cats cut out but that is all) If i do this will it attach to my Stillen exhaust without modifications?-Water Injection-Dual Intake with MAF-Boost Controler-I am already running 13.5 psi for boost and I don't know how much more I can push with stock turbos. Obviously I will have this done next year when I upgrade the turbos no matter what.Thanks

Your exhaust will flow much better with test pipes...$360http://www.importpartspro.com/sz3altepini3.html

oh and about the fitment of it...it should bolt right up to your catback if you have 3" piping. If not, they can make the 3" test pipe bolt up to your 2.5" exhaust for an extra $10.

$225 for the dual intake, plus $50 for another air filter is $275http://www.importpartspro.com/z1ssdduinni3.html

That would be close to $700 with shipping costs included

...wait is this your clutch fund also? or is this separate from your clutch money lol

This is seperate from the clutch fund. The problem is I dont know what size the cat back is. I bought the car with it already done. All I know is it Stillen Exhaust. I guess I could take it some place and ask...

Do you already have a 1 piece driveshaft? I'd do that with the test pipes (if you have lenient emissions in your state).

get one of those flexible nylon measuring tapes that the gay suit and tie guys at belks use to measure your arms and crap...then get under the car and wrap it around a pipe.

or, get a strip of paper and wrap it around the pipe, mark where it makes the circle, then measure that with a ruler.

divide your result by 3.14...get resourceful son! haha jk
