Cats are put on cars to silence and help emitions. It has the tendency to make you loose power. If you put a free-flow cat, you let the exhaust frow freely. I recomend you don't mess with it unless you have a SC of turbo.

Pullies on a car need power to move them. due to the weight, they rob potential power. the stillen/unorthodox racing pulley weighs less, which means it consumes less power that can go to the wheels.

RSB- Rear sway bar
FSTB- Front strut tower bar
RSTB- Rear strut tower bar

None of these creat horse power. They are all stubility devices which give you more control of the car by strenghthening you suspension. They lower your center of gravity and keep your frame from twisting, which results in the ability to take a turn at a faster speed with more control. I have all STILLEN. The RSB eliminates a sh!tload of body roll, body roll being that feeling when the car feels like it is on the point of sliding out of control.

Feel free to ask any other questions you have. You will learn alot here. If something happens to your car, It probably happened to one of use too.

Stay Quick
