Gears need to be done right or you can fudge some stuff up. If you take your time (may take 3 times longer) everything should work out fine if you have some knowledge. It should be able to be done for around 600-700 when all is said and done if a shop is installing it.

The next part we will be looking at is a mid-pipe, and the gears will be the last addition.

The main reason gears he is shying away from gears is because of cost. (although we all know the saying "how fast can you afford to go?") It seems like the gears + labor + recal =~ $1000. Is this true or can gears be put in ourselves with moderate mechanical knowledge?
eh idk i know tons of people did it themselves on here but if you get it done by a shop and something goes wrong you can take it back and get it fixed. If you do it yourself and screw something up your gonna end up taking it to a shop to fix it anyways. My install cost 340$. With the gear shops your gonna get what you pay for pretty much all the time. Im sure there is shops thatll do it for cheaper but id rather know there done right the first time and pay the little but extra. Honestly i think you should be looking into the gears before the midpipe. The gears are a 100x better mod than a midpipe. yes the whole process of getting them in and getting your speedo recaled is gonna cost some but its hands down the best moneyerformance ratio mod your gonna get besides nitrous s/c etc...

I always thought the Bullitt came with a 4 valve 4.6 - not the case, huh?
