Default Gears and exphaust help

So here in the next week or two I'll be ordering some 4:10's along with an XCal 3. When i order the gears do i need to go on and get the bearing kit? I'm most likely going to order the Handheld from VMPtuning anyone ever deal with them? Finally, my current exhaust set up is MAC Lt's X-pipe and some Flows(not sure the which ones they came on the car lol), but I've decided i want a new cat-back this one just isn't cutting it. I've looked at borla stingers but their pretty pricey, I've also looked at the Magnapacks but i just can't find any videos that are good. So I'm look for some suggestions guys lol

I think the rule for bearings is typically if your car has over 50,000 miles go ahead and replace them.

Yes you will need a new bearing kit.

I love the sound of an all Mac exhaust, LTs, O/R H pipe and their catback. Sounds great and has a nice deep rumble.

Yep, get the bearing kit and may want axle seals too. I did mine and they did need to be done. I figure if you are already there, why not right? Exhaust is pure preference. Mustangexhaust.com, youtube, streetfire all good places to look.

If you like Borla Stingers, then check out SSS Exhaust. It has the sound and quality of Borla, but half the price.
