Gears....

cheaper and better solution would be to put in some quieter mufflers

look into magnaflow and bassani

IMO they sound better with xpipes anyway

Yes i would look at a 3 chamber muffler if its the drone you want to get rid of.

if you go back, think of how slow your car will be

i agree, just swap mufflers

2.73 gears wouldnt give you any more pull in 5th, they would give you a lot less (if thats what you mean)

add an s/c and youll have plenty of pull for 5th

that is correct...273s have the worst (read nonexistant) pull in 5th gear

I don't understand why you'd need 4th gear to pull past 120mph?

I have the same issue and after a lot of research going to try the hooker "turbos. " They seem to put out the most power with the least noise while cruising and idle but WOT is real nice. The hooker max flow put out nearly the highest HP and are nearly the quietest muffler. In fact they are quieter and more powerful than my flows. So the turbo must be even quieter and prob little if much loss in power!

No no .... I have the REAL solution.


T-56!!!

change your mufflers like aforementioned. i had 2.73s on my auto vert and I couldn't get it to pass 115mph. now with the 4.10s, i've reached excess of 140, in a closed track, of course.

I love this place.

wouldn't do it any other way. lol

house is 65k a t56 is 2k, it won't help much. lol

Guero, with the experience that you've got in your daily job, I have no doubt that doing that will work for you. Good luck mang! You can buy me a T-56 too, lol.


BTW, why you sellin' the DS?

How much tq and HP can a t-56 handle guys? Thanks. Also, what exactly do we need for the fitment?
