Go with the intake pass on the their exhaust. The Gen 3 is one of best on the market but the Stillen exhaust is way to quiet for most and I have heard alot of stories of fitment issues. Does stillen still use slip joints on the exhaust with U-Bolts?

i thought pulleys were bad for our cars?

Jordo! · 11-28-2012, 11:06 PM

Nismo take off exhaust, test pipes (resonated unless you don't mind rasp), Cobb (or similar) smooth tubes, K&N (or similar) high flow panel filters.

You can get all of that for around (or under) a grand, and will pick up a solid 20+ whp/wtq.

I would never put an undampened pulley on any DD engine, especially one that redlines over 7K. The effect of undampened harmonics can be relatively harmless or utterly catastrophic -- why take the chance?

Under drive pullies can be a pain....I did some research on them cause I was thinking about going that route myself. They're ment for high rev and can be problemantic with daily driving. but it does offer a big hp gain.
