    catbacks do nothing for performance only sound. so yes, if youre looking for a good exhaust note borla is where it is at.

    you cannot go smaller with your supercharger pulley without a bunch of other flow mods to compensate. the key to making power with these cars is to not make more boost, but to stay at the same level. therefore, when you add flow mods you lose boost, so you put on a smaller pulley so you can get back to where you were before.

    so i am going to have to go with headers? will i be able to go with true dual or have to go with the single like it is? i really want to learn what i can do to my car so i dont just put some stuff on and hope it works.
