(Depending how you drive) and as for the noise your rpms will be higher by the same percentage increase as the Fd ratio difference. 4.1 to 4.56 is 11% 3000rpm is 3330rpm. Slightly louder but most people then drive 3-4mph slower (bonus less tickets) and noise is same.
For manuals though 4.56 or 4.67 seem to be the “sweet spot” autos a little higher. But FD swaps really depend on car use.
I really want to do fd swap but still cant stand the price tag. Still waiting for someone who crash '17 so i can buy the entire diff
