i've got my fidanza waiting to install with my comp stage 4 clutch... pretty excited about it, but yeah, im also curious about the steel vs aluminum... i heard the steel was slightly more likely to crack, is that correct?

if you want to drag race the car then keep the 3" exhaust. you wil only lose a slight bit of low end torque. also keep the flywheel stock. a lightweight unit will rev faster, but your rpm will also drop alot faster between shifts. think of someone reving a sport bike.

Does the 3" exhaust reduce little low end torque and increases top end?

And also, I ordered the Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel and I was reading on how it messes up your launch a lot and makes your engine unbalanced. Again, if that's the case, I might cancel my order. But, I do like the sound of better acceleration and less throttle delay.
So, I'm confused between the two issues. Can anyone help me out here?

"Lightweight flywheel messing up your launch and makes your engine unbalanced"......That comes out of the mouths of people who can't drive.
