I own the GMMG exhaust but I feel the SLP loudmouth is lighter and a better buy. You also have different tone options (mufflers) avaliable. Click on link

This is the BEST looking and fitting strut tower brace

SLP parts simply look better and fit best.
Are you a salesman for SLP?

Got the SLP lid and Silver Gauge overlays today! Just got done with putting on the lid. Really easy to do. Didnt have to take all the stuff off like the instructions said. At least I just didn't do it that way. It fits well, seals all the way around and is tight. I will have the gauges on this weekend probably Friday since I got it off. And of course pics will follow. Yeah very fast shipping from the WS6store.com. Very pleased!

Also had to adjust the driver headlamps. They were all crosseyed on that side. I am now noticing a whine which sounds like it is coming from the rear. I did a differential flush at work today so it has new fluid at the propper level. I also found that the pinion seal is leaking too. Doesnt look bad right now tho. The level wasnt that low either before I flushed it. Any ideas? I have GoodYear Eagle F1's on the car that have less than 1000 miles on there. I can feel they need rebalanced. Could that cause I whining type noise? And I found the rear end is not posi! It kinda upsets me but not really. I just expected a car like this would have it. The 86' does. What would be the rear gear ratio be then? 2.73 instead of 3.23?

I am confused as to what you are trying to say?

Posi Trac and Limited Slip are basically the same thing. When one wheel spins forward the other wheel also spins forward.

Now mine is an Open Differential. When one wheel spins forward the other spins backward.

I do not see that happening any time soon. Or ever.
