skip exhaust. not enough hp for price to me. yeah it's 10% but come one....7-10hp for 500 bux....no way.

you'd be better off with inputting the pulley set over the exhaust. at least it's at all rpm and not a specific rpm. and it's silent...and wont void warranties of any kind, and is cumulative with turning off the AC.

You're right, the exhaust is purely for sound and aesthetics... just that.



I've always hated the feel of our "drive by wire" throttle/clutch, so I figured that a little bit of a short throw would help out there, and it's a relatively easy and cheap mod. And, reversible if I'm not feeling it.



Woo, already done! Summer wheels: OEM Scion 7 Spoke wheels on my Yaris. NICE

Again, thanks for the feedback!
Okay, so rims is out of the way. As for the SSK, that doesn't resolve rev hang. But if you really want it, go for it.

The three pulley set is $249 I think. They should provide better acceleration as well as deceleration, so they're a good mod. I just have the CR-Lite crank pulley on my car, and noticed a slight difference.

However, technically, no mod should automatically void any warranties as it is illegal for a dealership to do so. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. I'm not going to go into how a dealership should determine if your warranty is actually voided or not. hahahaha
