Post Wavetrac

I am still looking for a rear end for my T/A and looks like i will be going the 9" route.
I looked into locker but i do not want the noise so i came across a new diff called "wavetrac" and it seems pretty intresting started in EURO cars and now we can get them in out 9" rear ends.
I did some reading about it (http://www.wavetrac.net/technical.htm) but i am still unsure how it will act, i am looking for a locker style diff with out the noice, will this wavetrac work like a locker? Seems like it is great for cars that will be used for something other than going straight and can handle a high horsepower load.

the Wavetrac diff is the best thing going for a 9 inch diff unit in 35 spline. the biggest issue with diff units is if you really need 35 spline axles. 31 spline axles are plenty to carry most of the f-body cars into the 9 second range and offer many more diff unit choices.

The Wavetrac diff is a all mechanical unit and does not make noise, feels just like the stock 10 bolt posi. it is lifetime warrantied and currently is only available in 35 spline. only real drawback of the Wavetrac is the initial cost, but sometimes is well worth it, depending on the application.

We broke one last year in a 1000 hp GTO at the old Exotic shop, and a guy from Wavetrac gave me a call about it after it was sent back to him. Wavetrac has an unlimited warranty on their units, and they stand behind them. They have already made revisions to these differentials, and if someone with 1500 hp brakes one, they'll probably be making more revisions. Oh, and when you order a Moser rear, the rear gets shipped out just two days after you place the order, not two to three months like some other vendors...... Bob

It is true our product does take a little longer than some to ship out. That is souly do to the fact that we can put many different options together, which is key when purchasing a high ticket item such as a fabricated rear end.

Give me a call an compare prices and I am sure we can get you everything you need at a great price. The true fabricated rearend housing features components such as a drain plug, 4 hole relocator style lca brackets, stock style anti-sway bar mounts, brake line clips, hose mounts and e-brake cable brackets(98-02) all as standard equipment at no extra charge.

The chrome-moly double adjustable torque arm is included with the package and is exclusive to this housing. Short(tunnel mounted) and long(trans xmember mounted) versions available. Both are the same cost, the short arm cross members come's with a driveshaft loop installed(available with dual exhaust), the long arm comes with a new trans crossmember, but no loop. We do have a tunnel form-fitting driveshaft loop available for the long arms or any other configuration. It is profiled to the floor pan and does not interfere with exhaust or ground clearance.

I wish the Wavtrac could be combined with the S60 rear. That would be a bullet proof package.

It is probably not the Wavetrac differential, the ones I have used were completely quiet. I would have to say it is the ring and pinion. Bob
