I know you gus are proaly tired o lists, but i would like to see what you guys think of the parts that im planing on throwing on.
this is the order in which i will buy them:
Megan Racing exhaust manifold.
Kartboy short shift.
Whiteline rear sway.
Kartboy Endlinks.
Perrin turbo inlet.
CSS FMIC with a NX sprayer.
ACT Clutch and Gruppe-s light flywheel.
Stoptech front and rear drilled rotors.
-(Still looking for brakes)-
Deatschwerks 650cc injectors.
Walbro fuel pump
Agency Power rails
Big 16g EVO III.
Looks like a good list. Didnt see shifter bushings on the list or SS brake lines. I know neither are necesary, but why only upgrade part of the system and not all of it. Im not sure about that clutch though. Dont really know much about them at all, just be sure to not get one too much grippier (probably not the best word) than stock on the stock tranny. Might cause some problems.

Yeah they have tighter(?) ones but this is their street model. And the SS is a kit and it comes with the bushings. I haven't looked into the lines though. Thanks for bring that up.

Instead of just headers get the grimmspeed coated headers and crosspipe combo with some DEI heatwrap for the crossover pipe to avoid ticking. The clutch and flywheel is not a good idea. SUBY777 on here just broke his synchros because he had an aftermarket clutch.
The DEI tape might be more trouble than it's worth... I never used it myself, but I've heard that moisture can get trapped between the tape and the pipe, but I guess some people throw a coat of high-temp paint over the tape to prevent that from happening. It just seems like a lot of work for a little gain and it's not very aesthetically pleasing (to me anyway).

I guess the point I was trying to make was that moisture is going to be your biggest enemy if you choose to wrap your exhaust system. Like Longshot said, as long as you can wrap the pipes very tight and completely seal them with paint, you shouldn’t have any problems. In fact, the general consensus seems to be that heat wrap is a good thing. Increased heat retention is beneficial for exhaust flow. By wrapping the header and exhaust system, it maintains hotter exhaust gas, decreases the density, and allows the exhaust gas to exit the system faster. It also reduces underhood temperatures which decreases intercooler heatsoak. The downsides are that it’s an additional expense and, as I mentioned before, moisture can get trapped between the pipe and the wrap, causing rust. Any metal, even stainless steel, will rust if you leave it in water long enough. Just something to think about.
