If Im right he is still breaking them in, and they're quite loud for first 1000 miles, after that they get quieter.

What would you guys reccomend, the 4.57 or 4.77? I drive my car daily, not very far, but I dont thnk i would dig constantly having to shift. Is there a big change in the amount of shifting with either set?

the 4.57 i like because i can be in 5th gear at 40mph and have plenty of pickup should i need a small increase in speed. it gives you MUCH more responsiveness and power down low. yet freeway driving only increased the rpm by 500rpm over a stock S2k.

radzio and E-brake:

my gears are fully broken in and the sound did get quieter. however, the video amplifies the sound greatly it seems. this is probably due to the fact that the sound is much closer to where the camera is mounted, plus I had everything off (radio, heater, etc), plus the camcorder is probably picking up that sound much easier than anything else. even my girlfriend commented how much louder it was on the video vs what it's like in real life. she's never complained about the gear whine when in my car.
