if you get a good 60 foot time your trap will go down and so will your et. If you spin em a lot on the start you will have a crappy et but it will make your trap speed go up so it really depends on the launch. I don't even remember when i trapped sub 90 mph so i'm not sure exactly, maybe someone else will know.

a clutch is a good investment/mod to get even before you're laying down serious hp. Just curious, how did you destroy your stock clutch so fast on just an intake, do you ride it a lot? My stock clutch lasted me a good 32k miles and then another 5k on a 55 shot and about 2k on turbo before i replaced it with an ACT

ah ok...probably some dumb kid that didn't know how to drive. When i was up at the dealership some 16 y/o was up there with his SI and the tech guy said the car had 4000 miles on it and needed a new clutch

i bought my car with 3 miles on it and i know my stock clutch would have held up past 100K if i didn't get FI

i don't think the muffler matters so much but you want to have AT LEAST 2.5" piping, 3 is reccomended. I have 2.5" piping with an APEX N1 muffler. Don't get some cheapy exhaust/muffler, make sure it's mandrel bent piping not crush bent.
