Cruisin in low gears

[Galant01]

Is it safe a driving around in the low gears? Because I have a custom cat-back and i like to drive in low gear because once you let off the gas at about 5 it roars down to a low RPM. It also sounds good in 2nd.

not great for the tranny but i do it too... sometimes i'll drop 2 2nd then to 1st coming to a stop. you can drop to 2nd anywhere under 80mph and 1st will engage (if u drop all the way back / down) at less than 25mph. btw, i have a AEM CAI, MPH pownpipe w/ hi-flow cat and straight through 2.75" THERMAL R&D exhaust, so u can imagine the sound after a downshift.

:sup:

I do it too, hahaha. It will not harm the engine unless you constantly take it to and keep it at redline. Reelax is also correct about being a little harsh on the tranny if you keep revving in gear and use the tranny for braking often.
