Ok so I've been running the car for a few month now and every one at the track tells me that my car is really LOUD, now I really haven't notice it since it was loud since I build it. My question is has anyone else notice this and if they have can you point me to what it could be its not the gear mesh or the pinion. Spur is in perfect condition.

I know you don't want to hear that it was the spur and pinion mesh but it might be that. Did you try making it looser? Mine was on the tighter side as I didn't want to strip the spur. The spur has been perfect since April. But then I loosened it up recently as I have spares and wanted to give it a try. It got much quieter and I have one full practice day on it and the spur is fine. Maybe others have had a different issue. But overall it is still a little louder than my other cars.

Well he only says he fills his center not the front and rear. I did notice last night after I got of my main that my front drive wasn't spinning a feely as the rear. I'm running 7/100k/5 the front felt like 50, lol

Are you sure? I just watched the video again to be sure. The video is called "how to build a D413 diff" and at 4:46 in the video he says that he fills ALL his diffs to 100% full. He just happens to be building the center diff but never says his process is only for the center.

My kit is louder than most as well. I've only noticed it on 2 separate race days but nothing was binding, everything came off at the right temps, and bearings in the hubs were all good. I think the dog bone center drive line adds some noise, reminds me of my tekno's in terms of loudness.

Can you guys please let me know which sway bars, if any, you run? I noticed on Ty's setups he doesn't seem to run front sway bars. His Gunsmoke Classic setup sheet shows a blank spot for the rear sway bar and this is the setup I'm going to try. Is this an error or is he just not running a rear sway bar? I run indoor clay, medium-high bite tracks here in socal. Any thoughts would be awesome.

i don't recommend loosening the motor pinion and spur mesh. the sound isn't coming from there. you'll just be more likely to strip a spur.

when the car gets a bit noisy i just grease the diffs again. I also add a small dab of grease where the dog bones rub the outdrives, runs fine.
