MPG is in alot more than gears alone!
You will love the 3.55s i have them behind my 347 and wouldnt swap simple as that!

Well I tried to get the bolts loose on the headers, but it just wasn't going to happen without an impact wrench, which I don't have. Plus, I've been there before with my 65 mustang having bolts break and strip. No thanks. So I paid someone $120 to install the h-pipe and i am very pleased.

It sounds about the same at idle, but when I get around 1500+ rpms and stomp on the gas, it sounds like a whole new beast. Exhaustgasm.

I'm glad you are happy. Breaker bar > impact gun. Don't spend that much on a simple mod again. I will have to hunt you down and take your money and do the work to your car myself!

Well I decided to change my exhaust manifold on my 65 mustang a few years ago. The bolts broke off and the head had to be drilled and rebuilt. Turned into an expensive ordeal. I felt better just paying someone a bit to get this done and done right.

Got the exhaust and gears installed. The exhaust sounds great. The gears feel good but I have to take it easy during the 500 mile break-in period :|

Cool, how much did you get out for in the end?

Canary94GT

Gears: $150 (ring & pinion) + $675 (bearings + install kit + labor) + $90 for gear oil change after 500 mile break-in = $915. Not bad when three of the shops I called said a minimum of $1000-$1500.

SpeedCal: $123

Exhaust: $357 parts + $120 labor = $477.

I'm pleased overall Now I need to work on fixing some things like a problem with my steering.

Man i remember those days, $$$$$ that lead to my learn by doing and research over the yrs! Now i dont have to pay for anything but parts!

Hope you like the new upgrades you have chosen..
