Default Need new clutch

So, I've got to get a new clutch. I apparently burned mine up. Should I get a stage 2 or anything fancy? I've got TRD CAI, Strup header, Weapon-R s-pipe, and Strup catback exhaust.

Those add-ons have little to do with it, the issue is how you drive. (By the way -- I'd be willing to bet you actually have only one Strup header installed ). If you hold the car or rock it at a stop using the clutch -- you'll hugely accelerate the wear. If you push hard on the rpm while engaging the clutch, especially from a stop, but also from gear-to-gear, you'll again beat it pretty hard. No clutch is immune to that kind of treatment. However, if your problem is after engaging the clutch, it can't hold the power even when it's in good shape, then you need a stronger clutch and pressure plate assembly. (IMO -- that last is pretty unlikely with an N/A car.)
