[QUOTE="art miller, post: 1434258, member: 19411"] Frederick, If you are happy with your 07 and it is not beat up with high mileage I would suggest you have the final drive modified with the Star Venture gearing. That will give you the same fifth gear ratio as the current six gear trans. I have had it on my 2014ES for six years. At 80mph my tach reads 3700rpm. In addition to final drive mod I run a 190/55-17 rear tire. The up-sizing on rear tire will make your speedo dead on with actual speed. As for noise and mpg benefits, I cannot say the noise reduction has been significant. My overall mpg is 40.0 with 50500 miles on the odo. Art [/QUOTE]
