Don't buy "performance" mods b/c they match a paint sceme ....

Seriously, if your already full bolts ons, its time to start getting serious. Cams, heads or maybe fi of some sort are your next options. Oh, long tubes are going to be required for any of those... (maybe not required but help a ton).

SONIC 4.6 said:
I have been reading and comparing all the UDP pullies from Summit to Stedda and I dont belive there is any real difference in brands, An UDP is just a UDP they should all be the same size, if im wrong someone please correct me.

Consider yourself corrected. Do a search on here. I cant remember all that crap but Steedas are WAY better than the others. It would be a mistake to buy another brand, especially due to color.

Ask on modular depot if you want a techy answer, or search here.

Pulleys are fine, but if you save a couple hundred more, you can get a great set of cams to make some great power. Headers are alright, but don't expect to see the advertised result until you have some more mods. When you're pushing some bigger power, the exhaust manifolds become a bottleneck/restriction, and an aftermarket set will really make a difference. Not to say you can't do them, but if you're not installing them yourself, the cost of the part and labor might make you look elsewhere for power gains.

I'd say best bang for the buck would be a CAI and tuner. The factory tune is alright, but you've got some ponies hidden in there.

Also, depending on where you live, Cams and Longtubes may be a no-no, smog-wise anyhow.
