is this a comin thing to go out on an fc?

i have full 3inch exhaust, wired open 5/6th ports, coldair intake, ACT stage 1 clutch, 18inch rims with 235/40/18 kumos ectsa's.
the car a 167,000miles on and about 50,000 on the motor. the gear oil in the rear was clean and toped off about a month ago and has no leaks.
