I would skip the header and pulleys no real reason for having those unless you just want it to say you have it.

Save your money and buy a Cobb. You will need one if you plan on turboing anyway. And it will help get you the most out of the rest of your mods too.

man i would look into other issues unless you hit something that caused it to sag those only had 14k miles. and make sure both springs are properly in place. i had to spin mine a bit to line them up with the groves in the strut mounts.

0004, the Cobb is definently a mod I would get if i had the money, adding a midpipe to that catback of yours wouldnt be a bad idea either. So would anyone want to try meeting up at Forest park again for the carshow this easter weekend?

There are several DIYs on here for seafoaming. A couple of us met us a few months ago to do our cars together. It's pretty simple except disconnecting the damn e-shaft sensor.
