    JHarris -

    Continue to read, and most of the answers you seek will be here. Do a lot of searches. Many of the veteran members here have answered the same questions so many times over the years they may not be so quick to respond anymore because the info is out there. We (especially me ) tend to go off topic a lot, but not too many people seem to mind (except the thread starter, of course, if s/he doesn't get the question answered).

    What about regearing the diffs? I know the parts are nearly impossible to find right now, but I've been toying for a long time with the idea of having some 4.77 or 4.88 gears fabbed up. Wouldn't the higher gear ratio compensate for larger tires and improve fuel economy?

    Another bad thing about exiting your exhaust in front of your wheels is that the exhaust fumes can find their way into your vehicle...not a good thing.

    I'm pretty certain it's illegal to have an exhaust that doesn't exit the perimeter of the vehicle at some point. Check with your local DOT or NHTSA.

    Back in the day, when I was a young whipper-snapper, I had a 70 mustang with downturned duals exiting right in front of the rear axle (a few inches away from the driveshaft on either side).....
