What would you pay for these mods?

I'm trying to get an idea on prices for stuff. No need to tell me if the stuff is currently on the market or not.

For YOU personally, would you want any of these, and what would you be willing to (seriously) pay, if they were top end quality parts?

Performance Headers for the 5SFE or 1MZFE

Performance exhause for 5SFE (catback), or 1MZFE (catback or true dual) *Note: Willl NOT sound like rice, most likely a stock 350Z sound. Both that ACTUALLY have HP Gains.

Lightweight Crank Pulley for 5SFE or 1MZFE

Lightweight Flywheels for 5SFE or 1MZFE

If people are interested, I'm going to see if I can get some Group Buys in the future.

Thanks for your input guys.
Adam

headers: $300-$450
full exhaust: up to $600
light weight crank pulley: $250
light weight flywheel: $300


As far as performance parts are concerned, as long as the quality is there( like how TRP seems to produce) these are realistic prices I would pay for the items in question. Honestly, if you buy any quality bolt ons, ie. greddy, hks, blitz, these are the prices you will pay. Parts for the camry probably won't be any different. I had a integra gsr before owning my camry, and those are actual prices I paid for the bolt ons I put in it. The camry really grew on me, so it looks like I will be putting in the money and work in the same way.

Exhaust 300-400
Lightweight crank pulley 200-300

Im interested in the light weight crank pulley by far the most.

Am I thinking of the same crank pulley that unorthodox still sells for 180? Why so high ppl? I think those are worth 200 tops.

Whats the advantage of lightweight flywheel? Wouldnt it make your idle lumpy? And crankshaft pulley - its probably aluminum, right - wouldnt it be more likely to crack or bend? Im curious ifrom someone whos tried these and like em or otherwise

There are very few long term users that can report on the reliability of these, however the short term effects are positive. Do a search, a few ppl had these installed and the car drives better in terms of quicker revs which goes a long way.

If the item is made from good stock, is machined really good, then it was last just as long if not longer than your OEM one. Also it depends on what you do to it, obvisously, if you abuse the damn thing it wont last as long.

Let me put it another way, all those moving parts in a Harrier or F-14 are aluminum. Thats why you hear manufactuers say it is aircraft grade and ramble off some numbers. And no the military are not always replaces parts, hell they haeva surplus of parts.

I have had a lighten crank pulley one my ES, as well as on all my cars including th Vitz (which by the way I use to race regularly 5 race per weekend and 2 races during the week), and never had any problems with it. And that is with pushing both the car and the engine to the limit.

BTW it is not just quicker raves that you gain, you also get more horsepower at the wheels. All in all you are getting more power throughout your RPM band, more hp and more torque.

Just to throw a little math at you and othres who do not understand why.

for every lb you shed at the crank you are gaining roughly 2.75 more ponies, not only that but the lighter crank pulley causes you to underdrive the rest of the pulleys and which also increases your power by taking back some of the power that the other accessories are robbing from ya.
