Catback although if you haven't done gears, put that in the TTD column soon.

Because opinions on pullies vary depending on if they had A/C or Alt issues.

No issues = Positive recomendation
Issues = Negative recomendation

I've got pulleys and No problem. So I guess I live up to what he said. Ha Ha.
The only complaint I have at all about my engine is how DAMN LONG it takes to idle down after a throttle rev. That has nothing to do with pulleys though.

I say do a 75mm TB Accufab, or Eddlebrock then the cat back, then pulleys. And just like everyone else, Get 410's. I absolutely love mine and after your TB addition you'll really have some getty'up in that pony!

Let us know what you decide!

The pullies are not worth it. You can seriously damage some engines if they are not installed properly. You do not get enough HP to make it even worth while.

These are MY opinions, you should do to your car what YOU think is best.

I do not recommend pullies to anyone with a mod motor.

wow mixed opinions but hmmmm pullies = $125-150. Cat-Back $350-550 and probably more gain from the pullies cause he already has the hi flow X.
