the intake spacers are awesome - hands down the best performance part per dollar you can get for this car. the BOPs are highly debated, and even if they work as expected it's only a couple horses so I wouldn't worry about them.

I'd pickup the Stillen UD/lightweight pulley, RL y-pipe and then tune @ Uprev

ive never heard of the shorter gates belt snapping... it'd have just as much chance snapping as your OEM belt I'd imagine.

I have the AAM exhaust/RL y-pipe and did the test fitment at AAM's shop. you have to trim .5" off the length and re-weld it - preferably the $300 y-pipe instead of the $1400 exhaust - and it fits perfectly! several other people have already done this as well. DEFINITELY worth it, the two together sound incredible. check out my youtube link in my sig for the AAM exhaust vid with the RL y-pipe and turn on your subs!

normally it's a direct bolt-on. the length of the RL y-pipe is a little longer than our stock y-pipe, and the AAM exhaust was designed very specifically on a car that was running a stock y-pipe. anyone will tell you the AAM exhaust is a tight fit- it doesn't have a lot of "play" like some of the other cheaper exhausts available. a quick cut/weld of the Y-pipe shouldn't cost more than $50-75 at a reputable exhaust shop.

Right, even when I installed the RL y-pipe to my stock exhaust it took one of my mondo screwdrivers to pry the resonator flange over and onto the y-pipe flange. That in itself indicates the y-pipe length is made too long.
