Hey everyone i want to buy the Racing beat exhaust or there light weight flywheel, can only afford one right no,w performance wise which one is better?

 

performance wise the exhaust isn't going to do anything for you

 

The racing beat exhaust is nice and adds a better look to the back of the car and a little deeper sound but no exhaust system on this car will give you a large HP gain. The racing beat exhaust is actually a little heavier than the stick exhaust.

I have read people are happy with changing the flywheel. But none of these are going to help with power alot. You would be better off spending your $$ on suspension or keping it in the bank if you are looking for a power increase.

 

If you're going to do the flywheel, you should think about doing the clutch since you, or the mechanic will already be down there. It will save you a lot of money/time down the road.

 

Just realize that in changing out the flywheel, you are talking about dropping the tranny. That is a good $500-$600 in labor costs unless you can do it youself. With the exhaust (which I agree will give you little if any performance gains, but sounds & looks awesome) is about 1 hour at a muffler shop (about $50).

 

AND...a flywheel won't help the car go any faster - just accelerate a bit quicker in the lower gears (1-3) - by 3rd gear, any gains won't be measurable.


The exhaust is good - except it's WAY too quiet...but doesn't drone. Looks sharp, too - to me, a larger exhaust (tips) makes the car look more 'serious' - rather than the very crappy-looking OEM parts.

 

if u get a exhaust try to get a cat delete pipe for high flow cat pipe then u will see a good increase in power

 

Thanks guys I appreciate all the feedback.... looks like im leaning towards the exhaust since the flywheel is gonna cost so much with labor...

 

idk what your looking for in a exhaust but i just got the turboxs one which isnt released. The hp gains were pretty good and i like the sound. look at the thread below this one for the discussion about it.
