At $600 it's a good deal. FDs aren't something most are willing to tackle so that kills popularity. Too many people here are into bolt-ons/cosmetics and won't dig into slightly more difficult parts. The 4.67 wakes this car up and makes it feel like it should have from the factory.

The MFactory gears aren't made as well as OEM but they're solid. My set didn't lay down a perfect paint mark but were shimmed properly, set at 0.008" tolerance, and make no noise as a result.

Dramatic introduction aside, what's the ratio? Manufacturer?

I daily the 4.67, find it on the mild side, and am glad I went 4.67 over 4.56. My last car had shorter gears and spoiled me. I'd go even shorter if I could find a taller 6th gear to drop RPMs on the highway.

With the MF 4.67 on factory tire diameter, here's what you'll see indicated on the speedo:

60 MPH: 2950 RPM
70 MPH: 3500 RPM
75 MPH: 3750 RPM
80 MPH: 4000 RPM

No. I checked the speedo against a GPS before/after installing the 4.67 and nothing changed. The sensor measures wheel speed and isn't affected by the FD ratio.

Changes to your tire's rolling diameter is the only way to change it and it's underrated anyway. 60 MPH indicated is actually around 58-59. Slightly taller tires would make it more accurate.
