Oh boy....

I would scrap the flowmaster setup,IMO.Looks like your more into motor mods..so headers would do justice.

well yea i am into motor mods but i do plan on changing the flywheel and camgear...but to be honest thats just because ive looked around and saw many recomm. to do it...not too sure what it does yet...

but yea jus scrap the flow and do what leave the pipe??..because the pipe is aftermarket also...or would u recomm. another muffler setup?

Flywheel will help it rev up faster, however it carries less inertia, so it leaves less time to shift, and requires a little more gas to get it going.

Cam gear is worthless unless you have an upgraded camshaft and a tune.

Back on topic,yes even an apexi WS2 is a good setup..instead of the flow master.You can search for good brands for your car.

Automatics dont have flywheels. Same applies for the cam gear. I have never owned a automatic so I havent really had the opportunity to try it out, some people swear its faster, I'm not so sure.
