Default One last mod (for now), help me decide.

So, I have a Stillen intake and an X02 exhaust; thats about it in the way of power adders.

Right now, with the impending move home, I can justify getting myself one car part, and its going to be one of the following. I need help deciding.

Underdrive pully
Motordyne Spacer
Forcedfed Headers
Test pipes

All are in the ball park of each other, however I have to consider installation cost. I've been told the spacer is easy to install, and its possible even my mechanically-deficient self could do it. Headers seems nice also, but Im not sure I could install those myself, and the professional install is nearly as much as the headers, so thats something to consider. Not sure about the pulley or the test pipes. Either way, right now, I can only do one. What do you guys think?

spacer or test pipes for sure. the spacer is very easy to install and test pipes arent that bad either, you just have to put some muscle into it.

Spacer gets my vote. Then again, I hated the sound of my car after I installed test pipes ( so did my neighbors ).
