stock ford replacement ones setup properly are dead quiet.
ford motorsport ones are pretty quiet.
richmonds seem the loudest to ME.. but overall, you can hear some noise from all of the aftermarket gears.... the gear setup decides this more then anything else.

Do you have a choice of gear brand when you buy a rear end from a sponsor?

no, they're not ford gears....
and if you expect moser to setup any rear to be quiet... we'll you're either going to be disappointed, or incredibly lucky.

Motive Performance or Strange Pro Street IMO are the best quality aftermarket gear sets available. Keep in mind that the aftermarket doesn't engineer for quietness, they are cut for strength.

From what I've seen, Motive gears are machined the best. If you want quiet, strength and some extra RWHP, you might want to have them Mikronite processed. I recently had that done to my 8.5" 10-bolts in my Tahoe. 9hp & 12 lb-ft of torque and the thing is even quieter than before. A neighbor just had it done to some 9" Ford gears. He's impressed with the finish, but doesn't have any RWHP yet!

Did you set the gear up before hand to determine the correct pinion shim before the process was performed or were they a used set? I haven't set up a gear that has had this process done and I want some more info.
