2G-specific Some dumb Questions! Newbie needs help!

Alright, here goes the stupid ass questions.

I Have a N/T 5pd. Car has no owners manual, I searched the net for info and this was a last resort.

1. Clutch? Is it Hydraulic or can i just use Dot3 , Dot4? Don't say what to fill it to either! Do I fill it all the way up? its located on firewall top right corner...

2. Looking for a nice Exhaust Tip / System. 420a Want it to sound decent, maybe get some hp from it...

3. Looking for dimensions of piping for the non-turbo ( I know a custom fabricator, but I think if I just find the dimensions to the 420a setup it will be that much easier.

4. Wondering what brake kit I should go with. Or just some good rotors and pads (looking for some pads that wont but brake dust all over my white rims)

Thanks for the help. Sorry for the dumb questions.

1. hydrolic clutch. im 95% sure. dont hold me to it.
2. get a cat back, apexi or greddy/ or whatever you prefer.
3. stock is 2.25, move up to 2.5 for a custom setup.
4. brake kits are expensive. you really need to just upgrade the front. you can get better bads w/ brembo or powerslot roters. if cash is no problem get the aem big kit or the rotora kit. once again its preference.

Alrighty, thanks for the help, I have millions more. But one of the questions I must not have wrote it properly.

I don't have 4grand to spend on a turbo kit at the moment. However I have been trying to find the piping for the 420a I am good friends with a fabricator that said it would be that much easier if he had the right diameter of the pipes. He said he could do it but its going to be different more then likely. So basically if some one ordered the hanhs turbo or star, and wanna let me know what the diameter and the radious bent Id appreciate that lots, now i know more then likely this is not going to be possible, id do it my self but I haven't came across a site with the dimensions of the pipes for the 420a motor. nor no anyone that turboed a N/T talon. (95-99) I guess im just cheap but those pipes are a like 1000 them selves and if I know people that can bend and ceramic then why not!

Get one off eBay. They go for about fifteen bucks.

The resevoir has both MIN and MAX rings on it. 3 or 4 doesn't matter, either is fine.

If your fabricator can't tell the size just from glancing, find another fabricator.

Any "best" brake pads will help 100%. And all of them will dust. Some a little less. You just have to get used to cleaning the wheels. Just be glad they're so smooth.
