Default what next?

i want add more to my car and my current options right now are

underdrive pulleys
ehaust

what would be the best bet for me (and easiest) i was looking at some dual catback's, but i would ned to purchase the Hpipe if i want to do trule dual, i did like the mac 2.5 exhaust that used the stock Y pipe, but its not true dual ... thats just for pure sound right? i wouldnt see many or if any perofrmance gains from a y pipe exhaust, however, i'm no expert :P

the underdrive pulleys sound like a easy thing to do and add more rear power to my car, but how well does it work with my existing items (i just have a kenwood deck and infinity seakers, no amp, subs, etc...) i want to make sure i'm getting enough power through my alternateor along with my AC and everything.

More horsepower or make it sounds like you have more horsepower. Hmm...tough choice.

Pulleys.

do yourself a favor and skip the bolt ons. they really won't make your car feel much faster than stock.

take about $1500 and get a 75 shot of nitrous with 4.10 gears and a detroit truetrac and a GT takeoff exhaust with force proseries mufflers. you will run high mid to high 13's with that setup and be a nice daily driver off the bottle

is a 75 shot safe on a v6 stock engine? I was thinking about doing that also. Is it illegal in some states?

how often does a cop ask you to pop your hood or trunk when your pulled over? you dont have to either way. he has to get a warrant to search your vehicle and you can deny him access. he wouldnt even ask if ur on the spray unless you tell him. call ur local PD if u still wanna be 'legal'

As Cobra said, skip the bolt ons, you'll pay a lot of cash for meager gains, go right for the good stuff, I say save up and buy a used supercharger on ebay, there is almost always one listed there for a sixer weekly for around $1500 or less, so keep a look out. Exhaust is what I would do as the only things pullies do is make your dynos look better, they help gas out a little, but nothing great, but you really won't get any noticible power difference, do the exhaust and you'll deffinitly notice a change, but still, if you want to play you have to pay.
