Looks good!

Did you do a baseline pull before you did all of the upgrades? Curious to see what your actual gain was.

gear sets are made for both size carriers.

use this search and you will be able to see them from different vendors. if you have never installed a new ring and pinion, and don't want to go through the install procedure, you will need to pay a competent shop to set it up for you. Summit Racing seems to have prices you can use to get an estimate of the final cost (gears plus installation).

this link illustrates the different thickness gears (Richmond also makes gears, I am NOT RECOMMENDING one over the other, just using Yukon as an example)

Nice result That's a fun cruiser for sure.

What type of mufflers are on it? I like the factory style square tips. Looking to go back to that myself.

They are flowmaster 40s that I welded on in place of the facotry mufflers....I polished my pipes and painted the mufflers black with high heat bbq grill paint....did that last week actually....came out nice in my opinion. You like the square tips? I was considering changing to dual round tips. Thanks bro

I like the look too.

Did you retain the factory (or aftermarket) resonator ? When I bought my 96 it had the exact same set up, Flowmaster 40's, with the resonator eliminated. It was loud and the drone was unbearable (at least to me and the missus); how's your's sound?

It's personal preference obviously, but yea I like the look of square tips. Fits the cars personality. I've got dual rounds, love the sound but wish there was a way to get polished square tips on it....

Always liked the look of the stock square tips, fit the body lines and look proportionate draws less of the wrong attention too. These days having a modified appearing exh seems to be begging to be pulled over anymore

Stealthy is good, funnest cars are the ones that you dont hear coming much but leave them scratching their head. most equate quiet with being slow not always the case.

Agrreed. I think stainless works has the best looking mufflers but I've yet to see anyone with the system installed...
