Header or 2% crank pulley + sound opinons?
Im looking to the future for my next upgrade (fking mod addiction).
Which would you recommend and why?
Ive got an 02' MCS with a 15% pulley, Alta intake, and Borla race exhaust.
My next mod will be either the header or +2% Crank pulley, as well as MTH Tuner file tuned for above mods.
IF you recommend header, just how much louder would it be over my current setup (borla race). Now that its broken in, Its got a nice rumble to it. I wouldnt want it to get TOO much louder then it is. More racey sounding good... but nothing loud. Also, which header would you recommend? MTH? OBX? Milltek? Also, would you use the factory cat, or peformance one? or make sure to buy a header WITH a cat attached?
I was thinking MTH so i can bundle it with their software and save some pennies.
That said, the cost and ease of installation is tempting with the pulley, but the uncertainty of 'safeness' is still in back of my mind.

I think if you don't want any additional noise then you should go for the 2% crank. But also with the pulley you should get a much more noticable power increase as well as a much faster revving engine.
