I just want more of a quicker response when I accelerate when I need to drive away from stupid drivers that dont know how to drive lol
More acceleration requires more power.

I meant response... lol instead of having like a slight lag before the power kicks in. (If that makes sense xD)

Also would it affect my gas as well? I'm sure the tune would fix that issue..

Then all you need is a tune, not a bunch of parts. That's where the vast majority of the change in throttle response comes from. Parts help, but the tune addresses the actual throttle programming.

Do you have emissions checking?

Sounds like you need lighter wheels, flywheel, rotors etc. that response will be greatly improved.

I was thinking the same. If that's all he wants then this combo above would be deadly lol. Price of light rotors and shops not so willing to turn them around my neck of the woods is what turned me away from doing light weight slotted rotors. But that combination of all three would be awesome!

So say you were to get 2 of the 3 combination that was listed CBE being a default, would you get a HFC or Headers? I guess i'm thinking in terms of if I change one thing, i'll want to change another so that the other parts can keep up with the upgraded part.

Changing the headers would most likely require you to remove the stock cats. Shorty headers are the only ones that allow the use of stock cats, and they're a waste of time and money. Your choice is HFCs or test pipes, or proper long tube headers that completely remove the cats.

O it will help!! Sport package makes it worse. You have bigger heavier wheels and tires and rotors.

I wouldn't get HFC's. Whether high flow or not it's still a major restriction in the exhaust. Headers is the ultimate question though. Cheap test pipes cost almost nothing but you get a major jump in power deleting the stock cats. How much more power do you get though going from stock headers and test pipes vs LTH's? Is $1000+ worth that increase? For most probably not!
