Did you do the install yourself? If so, how was it?easy, really hard, or average? I would say I am a little above average on doing mechanical work. Do you have to remove part of the exhaust to get to the drive shaft?

No removal of exhaust, your going to need a torque wrench capable of 150ft/lbs tho for the rear pinion flange nut. Might even just want to change the rear differential fluid at the same timee because when removing the rear pinion nut, some lubricant is going to make its way out. Cant remember what size sockets you need, overall tho, very easy install. Helps ALOT if someone is with you to disengage the ebrake so you can turn the driveshaft to access all bolts.

Heres the instructions from rons site http://www.leonardracingproducts.com...structions.pdf

I just ordered a Coast HD 4" shaft..........was debating between the two as I have heard nothing but good things about either shaft.

Congrats.

Way off of OT but i think you(06saleen3v) were the one that told me to get abrenspeed tune. Well I did and it really feels like it pulls harder than bama, nobashing bama here, just feels like from 4k on it pulls a wee bit harder Doug is the man and updates tunes wherever you buy. Even tho, this brenspeed tune feels monstrous, and i cant wait to get back to the track and test it out [8D]
