$600 to spend - what do you guys recommend?

blue00gt · 03-03-2006, 12:14 PM

What car do you have? Like Jeff said, $350 is a ripoff for underdrives. $150-$200 is about what you should end up paying including labor.
Gears are definitely going to be your best bang for the buck. A short shifter is always a nice addition too. A catback is not going to gain you any appreciable hp or performance, but they do sound nice.

Hey guys,

THanks for the heads up.. I thought the $160 for the install was steep but now I know. I am just having trouble finding a reputable shop in south florida.
I think the gears with the short shifter should keep me under $600.
Now comes the question of which ones to get. 3.55 or 3.73. I do a lot of highway driving and wouldn't want the gas to kill me. What do you think?
