hey guys i was just wondering what u guys think of this. i want to get the HKS hi-power exhaust for my hatch, but i also want the fidanza flywheel which gives more power. only problem is that i only have money for one. which one would you guys get first?

I would do the flywheel first. I think you would notice the improvement more-so than the exhaust.

The exhaust will give you HP not the FW...Do a quick search. The FW just improves performance, get's the rev's up there faster, hence a quiker acceleration but no added HP. The exhaust will give you HP. ;-)

also note that the flywheel is going to be more $$ or time to install then the exhaust would be...fly wheel will prob give you more noticable difference but just be aware that there is more involved then just buying and hanging an exhaust....

Go with exhaust.. not only will you have to pay to get the FW installed, but it would also be wise to get a new clutch before you toast the stock one.. Just something to think about

The flywheel will net you some whp which is all that matters, but won't raise your engines 160 bhp. The flywheel is nice, but it is going to be more expensive. I would go with the exhaust first.
