Default What to get next....

ok, so monday i'll be ordering the gen2 exhaust from precisionmuffler.com. Now my question is what next? A) A new pulley; which is better perrin's lightweight or unothodox's underdrive? or B) a TRD short shifter? I'm also debating on getting some trd perfromance shocks/struts too, but eh...I guess that could wait for a few more months...any opinions?

I think I talked to you today. The shop was closed, but I had to stop by and pick up something, glad I was able to pick-up the phone when you called. :D If you want my suggestion, I would go with the Perrin lightwieght pulley. The motor revs easier and its not that hard to install it either. :D

nah, that wasn't me, but funny you mention calling though because I was interested in calling and asking some questions...but I figured that it was saturday and alot of car shops are closed or close early, but since I'm here and have your attention, hows the installation? I'm a DYI kinda guy and I was curious as to how removing the stock exhaust and installing the Gen2 is. I've heard that the stock exhuast is a _____ to remove . Also, do you have any tips that I should keep in mind for removal and/or installation? Can't wait till monday!!! But back to the subject...I want some opinions!!

Actually PrecisionMuffler.com is open on saturdays, but we are close every last saturday of the month so that we can have a full weekend to ourselves.

Installation is something you can do at home, because it has a perfect bolt on.

The gen 2 will be easier to install, more room to play with on the rubber hangers

Make sure you have some WD40 around to spray on the rubber hangers, loosens them up for easier installation.
