Yes^3.
You want new needle bearing and bolts. IIRC, that stuff is for one time use.
8K RPM blanacing option refers to how the resurfaced flywheel is balanced AFAIK. It's great that they offer such a fine balancing, definitely recommend it as that's what I got.
I have ported/polished/coated exhaust manis as do many here. It's a nice thing to have, as many will agree.

people seem to be very happy with the reduced underhood temps due to coated manis
as for performance gains, the coating probably doesn't do much since they're already insulated (double concentric pipes). Anything to increase flow (p/p) is beneficial, but I don't think anyone has done a true before/after comparison to show the differences...because most people swap 'em in w/ a turbo upgrade.

Yes...new needle bearing and bolts...yes on the mani...but I skipped the p/p
due to the thin wall design already. Yes there have NOT been many failures, but I'd rather have piece of mind. The p/p is up to you, but not TRULY needed.
