yeah I will think about it...that is a hell of alot of money to put stock ones back on...then again the sound will probably better as well.

no belt slippage issues since it comes with 2 pullies for the upgrade. I had the issue with eating the belts....I have already replace the belts on once.

I was thinking of switching to to FI HFC if anything ever happens, as for if you really want test pipes, atleast get resonated, cause I got non-resonated, sh*t was annoying

....and all this of course is my opinion..hope you solve your minor problems buddy..

You had rasp with F.I Resonated test pipes AND the F.I exhaust combo?

I have the same setup, and have almost no rasp @ WOT. And no rasp during daily driving.

(Even though you are supercharged).

I am wondering though if having Topspeed headers is going to result in Rasp...I had test pipes before. What I may do is switch back to Stock Manifolds and put on Topspeed Test Pipes...maybe my exhaust note will be alittle bit deeper as well.

Prochargers should never have belt slippage problems because the belt has teeth. Only the vortech and like kits have slippage problems. Prochargers have problems with grinding teeth of the belt (I thought).

I've been running Kinetix HFC's for over 20k boosted miles and no issues here. I have also heard that running headers will do that to the cats but I really don't know why...
