Welcome to the forums man.

SWEET2KSTANG · October 27th, 2009, 11:04 PM

cat back is just personal preference of what kind of sound you want. gears, stock are 3.55's, atleast do a 3.90 to make any difference at all. i personally would go ahead and do a 4.10 since its a 4v.

and welcome to the board.

Mach Boy · October 27th, 2009, 11:18 PM

Don't fear the gear. I didn't notice any change in going to 4.10s. I wish I would have went with 4.30s.

blkMach03 · October 27th, 2009, 11:24 PM

really? everyone says with 4.10s there gas drops alot i guess it all depends on how you drive. lol

SWEET2KSTANG · October 27th, 2009, 11:28 PM

the 4v's dont mind a little extra rpm either.

blkMach03 · October 28th, 2009, 12:05 AM

gears hard to install your self?

Fijistudios · October 28th, 2009, 12:33 AM

Welcome, and depending on experience really. I would fork over the 100$ for the install and shimming that a speed shop can do easily with better results.

blkMach03 · October 28th, 2009, 12:35 AM

o thats all it cost? i thought it would be something outrages like 500+ to install

no they are not that expensive. Now the "outrageous" costs come when you want a shop to install long tubes if you dont know how to do it yourself

blkMach03 · October 28th, 2009, 12:39 AM

ha ya i heard that gets pretty costly

Fijistudios · October 28th, 2009, 12:40 AM

well i paid 400 for the whole set up. that includes the shop buy the gears, shim kit, transmission oil, work hours. It was normally 500 but it went quick and i was a frequent customer. So when he showed me the bill the install was like 100 said and done with the oil which was royal purple. Just find a shop that does it often and it should be less than $200 for a routine install if you already have the parts?

i was quoted 800$.... this was with the 4.6 sn95. I already had the long tubes.

blkMach03 · October 28th, 2009, 12:52 AM

drazga97 · October 28th, 2009, 11:21 PM

when i did 4:10s on my gt the improvement was great. and you dont totally lose top end performance wise unless you like crusing at 80 + like me, that was the only thing i didnt like

maverick0817 · October 28th, 2009, 11:23 PM

Yea 4.30's, full exhaust, intake+tune, will be a really fun car.
