What are your current mods? I strongly recommend against test pipes due to rasp and increased emissions into the environment.

Test pipes. Gives you a little bit of power and changes the sound up. You may need the non foulers.

Pullies are hit and miss. Some claim they unbalance the engine and cause problems.

Yep. The harmonic balancer. I vote for test pipes. Get them resonated if you're worried about rasp

Ive heard good and bad about the pulleys just found such a good deal on them thought it would be worth it. Dont want to have the thought in the back of my head that they'll throw off balance or not provide enough power for the alternator. Guess test pipes it is. Any input on the Megan resonated test pipes?

just get a TT kit and call it a day. Test pipes > pulleys. If you can handle the rasp/ and increased sound. Best bang for your buck.
