    Cat, muffler, and piping replacement

    So you replaced the large resonator with a straight-pipe? How does it sound (what's the difference with/without)? would this affect performance? I replaced my system with a Magnaflow cat-back but I believe the installer left the large resonator (I thought that was the cat???)

    "Audiophile" Stereo?

    Yes, quite different. It was completly redone. In the 06 model, the headunit directly amplifies the 4 door speakers.

    "Audiophile" Stereo?

    Subwoofer Size What is the size of the factory subwoofer? I am attempting to perform a replacement of the sound system so that everything looks somewhat "factory". I have heard that the sub is a 6" and also an 8"? Does anyone have an accurate size as well as mounting depths, etc.? Thank you!

    Possible Upgrades: Suggestions???

    Hello all, I am new to this forum but am glad I found others who are dedicated to their new Explorers. I have an 06 Eddie Bauer V8 and have installed a MagnaFlow catback exhaust system, KKM intake, and an X-Cal 2 (91 performace tune). At this point, there is not much else to do that is within...
