Hotchkis springs and sways. I lot of people worry about making a car faster but why not go for a mod that will drastically change the feel of the car (in a good way).

The UR pulley set is a good mod.

Yes you do get more hp and Tq from the pulley set I have a set of UR pulleys and gained 12 hp and 9 lb-ft and it increases as you modify the car because less power is being robbed and the lightened weight frees it up oh and this is not a DIY if you don't have the proper tools and equipment plus you have to lift the car.

All good suggestions...

12hp is impressive for the pulley set...??? Your FI, right?
Hotchkis setup is nice too, nothing like a better handling Z!

If you want some good HF cats for $445 shipped, check out the HELIX HF cats from either HOPUPRACING or I M Racing...200 CEL metal substrates/internals will not collapse like others. Figured you have the breathing mods on the front end...

A good set of High-flow cats (Crawford or Ultimate-Racing)...

you'll get a nice power boost out of them, and even more with each additional breathing mod you make.

+1. Machupo knows what he's talking about. Cats and Y-pipe are the next stage.

No, they won't void the warranty.

Best bang for the buck imo, and if you dont mind swapping in your cats for your sniffer test Id recommend:

1. Test pipes, better gains than HF cats at less than 1/2 the cost, get resonated one's if you dont want rasp. I got some for $180 off ebay average is $250

2. Get a UR crank pulley, I have one I recommend it, you can definetely feel it. You should be able to get one for $220 or so with belts. Around $200 for just the pulley.

3. Take the extra money if you have some and find a local dyno and see where you stand-I get 3 pulls with a/f on a dynojet for $60....

Good luck, whatever you choose Im sure you'll be happy with it.
