I think Kevlar is only available for AWM engines, but I would highly recommend Blauparts for their timing belt kit. It was cheap, thorough, and had a full set of instructions. Though they did send me a bad thermostat, when I let them know they immediately sent a new one on two day shipping or something quick like that free of charge. Great company!
As for a test pipe, while there are gains to be had, the downside is a smelly exhaust and stained tips/bumper. I've switched to a high flow cat (Techtonics) and I don't notice much difference in power. We're talking a few horses less. To me its worth it to pass emissions and to have a good smelling exhaust to sacrifice a couple ponies. I'm happy with my Techtonics but I've heard lots of good things about LaBree. FasterThanUrA4 knows the company better than I do though.
Glad to hear the oil cooler is well again, and thanks for giving me one more thing to worry about.
I swear this forum is going to send me to seek psych help.
