Is the performance boost from the exhaust and CAI noticable?

Mine was the same. I got my best feel from pulley/header/full spipe exhaust.

or
~$300 (plus maybe $200 for install) for the flywheel and a definite increase of hp and torque at the wheels.
I agree, my flywheel was a LOT more noticeable than CAI and cat back exhaust combined. But if you're going that route get the better clutch at the same time. It clamps better since the rpms drop so much faster.

How much did the install for the flywheel cost you? i'm usually one to do all the work on my car by myself... but installing the flywheel might be just a little bit too much for me to tackle.

well i got the flywheel, stock clutch, and install at the same time, and it was about 1100 total, 320 for flywheel, 290 for clutch, and 500 for install of both. I had my personal mechanic do the work though at only 56/hr compared to the dealer at 90/hr. And of course you don't need the clutch, but at this point, why not.

So $400 for the install ... on top of the ~$300 for the flywheel itself? Or did your install include the clutch also?
