1.) Its time to replace my clutch. I already got the adjustable clutch cable kit from steeda, i got a custom clutch being made as we speak, got the pilot bearing. Now the throwout bearing. The TO is shot, it grinds. Now is the LMR throwout any good? its got about 4.75 stars out of 5, with 4 reviews, (dont count the last one because it was stupid) the FRPP has 5 stars and has more reviews. Buuuuuut the LMR is cheaper so i want to know if anyone has experience with it, should i take a chance? or just get the FRPP?

2.) Now the dude whos doing my clutch (a friend and previous car mechanic) said he'll charge me 50 bucks more to put some headers in. I already have the BBK o/r h pipe, and magnapack catback. I was eyeing the bbk unequals. equals are a PITA, and i dont want to buy another mid pipe or modify my existing one, plus i have smog, so LT's are out of the question. The bbks are 1 5/8", am i ok with those? i am building a 347 stroker with afr 185 heads later maybe in the next 1.5 years. will the 1 5/8" be ok? or should i get mac 1 7/8? or 3/4? i forgot what it was. But the bbks fit seem to be pretty spot on, the macs, heard mixed reviews. i want to get the headers done its just 50 to install. which should i go with? will it give it a nicer, smoother, and/or louder note? thats honestly the only reason why i want headers, i dont need the extra 10HP the LT's give out. currently is a deep growl, not to raspy.
and before anyone says "you got an o/r mid pipe why do you care about smog"...i care because i can change out the o/r mid pipe for the original thats hanging in my garage. headers are a little more harder to swap out.
thanks!!!
