    Are you planning to do the work? I'm still on the fence about doing my own gear work. Too easy to do it wrong. Parts are too pricey for that.
    In case you didn't realize, ECGS is in your backyard now that you are in NC. Come visit the "Raleigh" folks and be confident the work is done right.
    That said, I would install a third member already built.

    I work at the Jeep dealership here in Boone and have made friends with a few of the techs who are willing to help me install on a saturday. They have done alot of ring and pinions so I figured Why not save a few bucks and just buy the pieces. I completely agree on buying the fully assembles third if I was doing it myself.

    Just the tip.

    I'm going to try and get some vids after lunch. Happy to report my wife rode in it last night with no complaints of the noise over what she was accustomed to with stock.

    Ok, not exactly what I wanted (in terms of video quality) but I need to find a good low key spot that I can rev up and do a few short drives to really get the sound. Luckily when I got home I missed my spot on the driveway by a few feet so I had an excuse to crank her back up (hence the few feet I had to roll back in the vid). As everyone else has said on every other video, it doesn't do it justice and sounds deeper on camera. I recorded with my phone and playback with my phone sounds OK, listened to it on the computer and it sounded better. It is deep, but not as deep as the video makes it out to be. It is a good judge as to how quiet it is when idle though.

    I know it well - I work off of Kit Creek but I rarely go in to the office, and when I do I drive the Prius. I'll find a place around here.

    It came separated, I guess to make it easier to get it cut., I will snap it together once I get it cut and install a better battery. I read OEM battery is not the best.
