P.S I know RPM a-arms are alot stronger than alloy a-arms but i dont like them i think they make youre car look sh*t.

Out of those choices, get the pipe and the clutch, and leave the metal arms alone. Once you bend them, they are done. That's why RPM arms are better, they give and then return to shape. Get them in black, and they look like the stock arms.

the exhaust, yea its cool but you can get some other pipes that gets much more performance top or bottom end like the fantom works racing pipe, or the sirio big bore pipe
the 4 shoe clutch thats good go a head and get it
the a arms i would go with the rpm arms, there !!!ALOT!!! cheaper and if you break one you get a new part for free!! if you like spending money you could get those but if you break them you have to pay $8 for a new one, and they will way you truck down alot so it will be slower

I run the Sirio BB pipe -

Took about 5min to convert it to a 1/8th style pipe hanger by bending/cutting the stock pipe hanger. I've seen where its just strapped to the chassis with a zip tie and that seems to work ok. The fantom pipe is better looking. I think the 2 are pretty equal performance wise. I really like the sound of mine.

The pipe also comes nickel plated, just cost more.
Go with RPM arms, unless you're a great driver who never crashes, the alum arms will wind up bent and once bent, you'll never get them right again and have to replace them.
