personally i would of ditched that exhaust. losing bp and going with gears. gears dont make up for the loss of bp. get some type of backpressure and car will run alot better

I've had 4.10's before. They are real nice from a stop. HWY driving in 5th wasn't too bad either. On local roads, I would always drive one gear higher than needed.

Why did yo go to 355's ? So the 410's arent that bad at all?

They are not great. Someone can correct me on this but I believe that from every gear ratio that you go up your RPM's will increase by 200. So ex: if you were cruising on the highway w/ 3:73's in 5th doing 80mph and at 2,400rpm's, with 4:10's you will be at 2,600. DO NOT take my word for it but Ive heard that a couple times before.
