Next mods?


My birthday is coming up in less than a month and my parents/gf have been asking me what i want from them so I am thinking set of gears w/ install, here is the link to what i am looking at

1986-12 Mustang 8.8" 3.73 Ratio Rear End Gear Kit with Ford Racing Gears at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

thoughts?
also install is generally around 200-300 bucks right?

And I am probably going to buy myself a mid pipe, most likely and o/r H, right now all I have is a flowmaster cat back

Any suggestions on mid pipes brands? or better mods in the same price range?

That's a pretty good deal, Do you think I would be okay if I just bought the gears? I was going for the kit because i was worried about my cars high miles and figured it might need new bearings and etc

Id still get the bearing kit, with fluids and all.

Just buy the fluids and bearings by it self, youll still save a few bucks

Common gears for N/A cars are 373 or 410. I've actually got an 8.8 carrier with 410 ring and pinion for sale. $75 + shipping. Hell of a deal
