any advice on the exhaust it would be much appreciated!

2.25" pipe is widely considered the magic number for exhaust diameter. That's what I'm running. They changed exhaust somewhere in the mid '90s. The newer setup is easier to fit. If you search for threads on headers here and on NASIOC, you'll see what I mean.

 

I'm not sure if anyone can help with the clutch question until you describe your entire setup.

Yeah. When I ran that type of setup, I used an XT6 clutch kit from the dealer. I had mixed results with aftermarket offerings. After a few different setups, I opted to pay the extra money for the proper fitment/function. YMMV.

ahh okay, so i could go into a dealer and say i want and xt6 clutch, and they know what im talking about? so the xt6 clutch kit is used for many different models/year of car?

No the XT6 clutch was used on the 88, 89, and 91 XT6's - that's it (yes they skipped a year).

 

You want to ask for an XT6 clutch set - for any of those years. Be prepared for sticker shock. The pressure plate alone is about $165 from the dealer. The entire kit is probably close to $300.

"Duralast" parts are just defined by the box.

It's just big batches of stock from OE manufactures that AZ buys up at discount, unpackaged or partially packaged and boxes up and warehouses its.

 

Example.... if you go to AutoZone and look up an EA82 rear wheel bearing there are 2 choices.

 

Timken, good but not OEM.....Lifetime warranty......56.99

 

Or Duralast, when you get the bearing, it's Koyo....like subaru the factory part......One year warranty, but it's only 39.99

 

Same with Duralast Knock sensors, and alot of other parts. Pull them out of the AZ packaging, and it's a factory, Japanese made part. I've been pretty happy with them recently.

 

That said, Clutches i've gotten as "Duralast"...have been sometime Exedy, and sometimes Valeo...so it's a crap shoot.
