I have about $700 to spend on my car. I am wondering what to do, either upgrade my exhaust or install 410 gears. Nothing is wrong with my exhaust, the mufflers and back is all original and only have 23k miles on them. Just want it to sound better. I installed shorty headers and an X pipe last year.
Opinions are needed on what would you all do?????

 

My opinion.......... buy the gears.

 

If you're talking about the 7up car, hold out a while longer and do the motor. Heads, intake, and cam. Save enough up for a good set of heads and cam. You can usually find a good intake used which is ok because you can't wear out an intake. Those cars are great because you can piece them together as you go. Meaning you can do heads and cam without the intake or the other way around.

 

Gears… I'd do 3.73's though with a stock cam, unless you spend a lot of time at the track. I had 3.73's in an 89 Hatch with Heads/Intake/Full exhaust, and an 88 Coupe with 4.10's, same mods just different names on the parts. Personally I enjoyed cruising the 89' on the street a lot more. 88' Spent most of its time at the track or stop light racing. Although I do miss both of them lol.
