Well, exhaust is out of my picture now, my stock clutch has started slipping badly, especially high R's. So im getting my clutch/flywheel replaced. Right now I'm looking at a Spec Stage 1 and a Fridanza flywheel, is this a good choice? I'd like some input. My other choice for a flywheel is the clutchmasters aluminum flywheel, but it costs significantly more. Share your expertise!

That's the same setup I have. I'd personally go with the SPEC, as I believe they balance them together, which cuts down on the clutch chatter in neutral.

Oh yes, the chatter is unbarable... So make sure you have a loud stereo!

i dont think its that bad. I honestly cant even hear it unless im listening for it, but maybe thats just because im used to it.

You can't hear clutch chatter!
You must be mistaking it for "GEAR ROLLOVER", something that also goes along with stiffly sprung clutch hubs.
Gear rollover makes a rattly noise and is somewhat noticeable on mildly sprung clutches like the stock SVT clutch, and really noticeable on the stiffly sprung or solid hub clutches. Gear rollover is caused by gear lash or basically the teeth on the gears lightly banging together as the engine rpm varies ever so slightly at idle. You won't hear it under load, only in neutral with the pedal out (engaged).
Clutch chatter is 'Felt' rather than heard as a shuddering vibration that permeates throughout the car. Slipping a Hi performance clutch incorrectly can cause it and some clutches to do it no matter how well you slip them. Some clutches with unevenly surfaced flywheels will develop clutch chatter as well.
