Actually, some of those mods may actually take torque away from your car. Not sure about the pulley though. forced induction is a sure bet to increase torque

Unorthodox Racing pulleys add a decent amount of low end power since the drop in weight allows the crank to move itself with greater ease. Headers work best on the high end rpm range. intake is also more top end, exhaust dont do shit, maby 2 hp. cams... like to see you try, and ECU, the UniChip is still $700, and we havent had enough feedback to say for sure.

You are paying for the Comptech name and "quality"
Some people have had probs with the OBX's - weld spots have leaked, possibly from lower quality but the HP gains are the same, the OBX's are identical pretty much. Check out the Stone headers, much better rep and only $400

have any of you heard with warranty issues due to the pulleys? i know alot of places (and people) really don't like to mess with the crank pulley for good reason. i myself have seen shattered crankshafts. not pretty. now i know that parts are pretty well engineered for these cars, im just curious if dealerships give people grief over them.

OU Sig, i thought there were complaints about the stone headers? i remember a post about 1-2 months ago where one guy here had to send his back 2 or 3 times because they wouldnt line up. i might not be remembering right but i could have sworn there were some unhappy customers. am i right or am i thinking about something different?

Comptech will not void the factory acura warranty. there for they can ask for more money as long as they give acura the proper kick-back and acura doesn't hassle anyone with comptech parts, everyone is happy. Plus the quality is high but many companies not just comptech

True there was that one person that had problems with the Stone headers. I assume that was a bad batch and very rare at least when compared to the problems people have had with the OBX. who knows, but it seems you get what you pay for in this area.
