Your kidding right HAHA

Go with the pulley

You will only see a big gain from the headers once you have a pulley. More air in more air out

Definately go with the pulley! I met a few guys that did full exhaust a few weeks after buying the L and the were pissed cause the spent all that money and didn't pick up hardly any power. Definately the pulley! but that's just my $.02.

pulley, definetly...i know two guys who had a consderable amount of mods and didnt pick up any power with the headers. but thats jut what i heard. aslo what soap said, more air in more air out. You need to get air in before it can go out.

I repeat my previous statement... Pulley!
Just a question for you guys with this mod completed...
I want to get a pulley for my 01 L. I've heard a lot of good things about PSP as well as JDM. I just want some opinions from you guys who use their products. Thanks for the help!

Pulley first.

The difference between JDM's pulleys and others is that it is a "caged" design, like the stock pulley. The other pulleys are "cageless".

Which one? Lot's of reading on that question.

i guess jdm just sold another 6 lb pulley but im probably going to put the stock top pulley back onthe blower.not interested in taking too big a chance of hurting the motor.thanks for your help! and blown hard,i personaly like jdm products and service but the other tuners seem to all be pretty good people to deal with also.

I guess I'm the only one to recommend the long tubes first. The whole exhaust sounds and looks great, and will only improve performance further as more mods get added.

So if your definately getting a pulley, I say do the the LT first for this reason: they are expensive, get the more $$$ things out of the way so that the smaller things don't seem as bad on your wallet.
