Default What would you pick ?


Hey all ..
I have a 2013 fx4
3.55 gears with 34.5 Ko2
Roush exhaust and cai
SCTx4 with 5 star tunes

Main objective is to gain a little More power

Summer is coming and I am looking for my next mod ..
I'm pretty well done with the appearance of my ride, and am looking into a little more performance now.

So.. I am tossed up between 4.10 -4.56 gears
or
Stainless works headers .

Pretty well both the Same price however I can only afford one or the other .

I am am leaning more toward the gearing cause I feel it needs to be done. However I love noise and those long tubes would sound nuts .

Your thoughts ?

Cheers

I'd do the gears, I added L/T's and there was a good power increase, did not change the exhaust note much. With your wheel and tire combo, I feel gears will serve you better.

Gears. If you live in a mountainous region and/or do a fair amount of towing, go 4.56. Looking back at it again, that's what I'd go to.

Gears hands down. Like previously said, if you tackle hills regularly you will notice the big difference.

I'd do bolt on mods and a good tune. I would NOT do gears. Been there, done that.

Any quick detail as to your negative gearing experience?

Going from 3.55s to 4.56s will give you more bang for buck then headers will. Especially with you running 34.5 tires already.
