Well, I have just been driving it and looking for the "little" things to come up. Such as the driveshaft flange bolts failed to get torqued upon final inspection. I had a vibration apear from nowhere.... Fixed that. The brakes feel awsome and work great! Stopping power was greatly increased

Hacked up the exhaust today as it was hangiing sooo low and scraping when I farted. The flange at the front where it meets the header was welded on crooked. Not pretty but I need to replace that section at some point anyhow.

I will say that I LOVE the sound of the exhaust and how I can talk to my wife next to me. The only Rx we have that we can do that in

Also the car has alot more snap to it I think( butt dyno) First gear is almost a wasted gear with the 4.77 in the back. I need to run with the local crew at the Blue ridge parkway run and see. I believe the speedo is 3-4 MPH off because of the change in gear as well. I am very happy with the results of the gear swap and the LSD install. I loove traction!!!Even left 2 black marks just cause I could
