Exhaust or Crank Pulley
So Im having my 15 % sc pulley installed soon but Ive started thinking I might get my crank pulley done at the same time. Im thinking about an ati super damper w/2% overdrive. Now if I dont do that I was thinking to buy a bargain ebay exhaust. ..
Car is a 2006 Cooper S with 42,000kms. Only mod installed at the moment is a JCW CAI that came with car.
So what would you do....crank pulley or bargain exhaust. Keep in mind I already have the sc pulley just need to have it installed.
Or maybe you suggest something entirely different to spend money on.
Thanks for any input.

Go with the crank pulley. They are a part that is a WHEN is it going to fail not an IF? We see them fail almost daily as the cars get older. So doing it now will prevent a surprise bill later.
Also your mechanic may discount the labor since you're doing the pulley at the same time.
And the ATI damper will balance better than the stock and the engine will idle smoother.
You can always add an exhaust later, but will give you time to save up to get a quality exhaust.
