so i'm looking to get a couple goodies...... S-pipe, cold intake, light weight pulley..... So ok what i got is a hks axle back exhaust thats it....... now where exactly is the s-pipe located?? (have a car lift and knowledge of tools.) Cold Intake i guess i'm looking for what would be the best too get the cold intake or short ram? And what sounds the best? From what i hear the pulley is only made by one company?!? Also with that dealerships have been telling me that a light weight pulley is bad if u have aftermarket stereo equip.?? Only got subs and dont use them that often so should i still worry??

The only way you would need to worry is if the pulley is underdriven which means its smaller than the stock one and that would only be if you changed your alternator pulley, I only changed my crank pulley out and its the same size but a hell of a lot lighter. As for the intake I have the Injen CAI I had it short ram for a while then changed it to the cold air. IMO it doesn't matter how you have it set up it sounds just as good and performance difference would be minimal. At that point it would be your preference and just to recap if you keep all your pulleys the same size just lighter you should be fine.
