Yeah, if it's a 65mm I guess it would be a 6 lol. If you have an 05+ and you pair it with a tune you could see some alright gains, but nothing spectacular.

i think sum people are like other people....

They cant save up for sumthing. They want to buy sumthing for their car right then and there. lol. Gear will cost about 800 bucks with part/labor, while the TB will only cost about 250. If i have the money right then and there for the gears i would buy them but if i dont then......... i wont get em, lol

Its a waste of money on your car and you are much better off getting something else.

u really went of on an unrelated question here didnt you?? lol

regardless, what you want is Royal Purple 75w90 Gear Oil. its good ****. i've got to ask, are you planning on doing this yourself? not that i doubt your automotive prowess, however even regular shops sometimes balk at doing rear gears.
