Yeah it will be about 500 dont do it for cheap...very bad idea! make sure the place you goto is specialized in tranny and gears...one of my friends had his gears installed at midas and they blow *** they are ford racing, but they whine and chatter wernt set right. if ur in socal i can reccommend a guy in El Monte. i sent by friend there and now his stang is perfect and quick as hell of the line.

get gears and read the gear thread about 16 times before you ask the repeating questions that were already answered.

get a used set of gears (can be done for 100 for less), get a SCT tune from www.vmptuning.com (there chips with 2 tunes is only $269) and then for gears is normaly arouns 150-250bucks.

or dont spend a ton of money on exhuast ( my whole setup barely cost over 300 for catback and h-pipe). and spend the rest of a tune or pulleys or something else. Me i would do the exhaust first as i hated how quiet my car was before the mac pro dumps. its up to you just giving you some options.

Skip the exhaust, get 4.10s. Much better gains for the money, trust me. But, I guess I should just go ahead and say enjoy the exhaust, as no one seems to listen to us when we say gears first.

no kidding, I didnt make near $4 grand, but you sure could and if nt, you'll still bank. Most of my family(aunt/uncles/cousins/etc) are accustomed to giving me $20 for my birthday and xmas. For graduation, they all gave me no less than $50. So depending how big your family is and how many friends you got, you could have money for gears AND exhaust.


as for which to get...depends which is more important to you. Nice sound or better performance.
